lyrics

GREASY FRY COOK BLUES by: Lynne Thomas

Neon lights a flashin’, burgers sizzlin’ on the grill
I should be hittin’ homeruns but instead I wound up here
From swingin’ bats to slingin’ hash, I should be givin’ interviews
I got those low down, deep fried, should be playin’ baseball,
Greasy fry cook blues

Coffee on the burner, been warmin; there all day
I should be in the infield, turnin’ double plays
A shortstop cookin’ shortstacks, stuck here in this greasy spoon
I got those low down, deep fried, should be playin’ baseball,
Greasy fry cook blues

I was playin’ in the minors, headed for the major league
Slidin’ into home plate, my knee gave out on me
I lost all the money, lost all the fame
I lost a no-good woman who didn’t love me anyway

Tomorrow’s blue plate special’s heartburn and stomach ache
Or I could tear my heart out and serve it on a plate
From dugouts to stale donuts, I got nothin’ left to lose
I got those low down, deep fried, should be playin’ baseball,
Greasy fry cook blues

I got those low down, deep fried, should be playin’ baseball,
Greasy fry cook blues
