UFO's, Big Rigs And BBQ - Mojo Nixon

I’m gonna tell y’all a story you ain’t gonna believe

It’s about UFOs, big rigs, and barbecue

Well, I’m squishin' armadillos out on Interstate 10

Headin' out of Houston once again

Then I seen somethin shootin' right across the sky

All covered in fur with one big eye… Shazam

So I stomped on my brakes, let my baby whine

I’m havin' me a close encounter of the diesel kind

Then the spaceman spoke, it sound sorta funny

Kinda like a Yankee banker all outta money

You know what he told me?

He said:

Well, UFOs are big rigs

That come from Outer Space

Stoppin' off at the truck stop Earth

Lookin' for some food to eat

Ya can’t get no Beanie Weenies

Out past the Great Unknown

UFOs are big rigs far from home

Now that furry flyin' saucer guy said he was lookin' for some barbecue!

So I took him down to Dreamland Barbecue down in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

You know what we got?

We got ribs, white bread, and ice cold beer

We was eatin' so hard I didn’t even stare

And that boy was ugly too

Said the waitress reminded him of someone who was far, far away

Took another white pill, another long day

Everybody now!

Well, UFOs are big rigs

That come from Outer Space

Stoppin' off at the truck stop Earth

Lookin' for some food to eat

Ya can’t get no Beanie Weenies

Out past the Great Unknown

Yeah, UFOs are big rigs far from home

C’mon, boys, I think I see Mr. Spock over there!

Hey!

Then that space alien said somethin' that was music

To my truck drivin' carbuncle-budded ears:

«Well, out past Mars ain’t no speed limit!»

Said he owns his space truck, he don’t rent it

And his back was achin', could he somewhere get him a massage?

There stood Sapphire’s Space Age Love Garage

Ha Ha!

C’mon!

Well, UFOs are big rigs

That come from Outer Space

Stoppin' off at the truck stop Earth

Lookin' for some food to eat

Ya can’t get no Beanie Weenies

Out past the Great Unknown

Yeah, UFOs are big rigs far from home

Yeah, UFOs are big rigs far from home

Man, that boy shot outta here faster than Richard Petty!

Look at that antenna he’s got!

I betcha he could pick up Dave Nemo and tha Road Gang on the other side of the

Sun!
