John Mellencamp - Hotdogs & Hamburgers Lyrics
Drivin down a dry summers dayOld route 66 and I was just a kidMet a pretty little indian girlAlong the wayGet her into my carAnd tried to give her a kissIll give you beads and wampumWhatever it takes, girlTo make you trade.She jumped into the back seatAnd she kinda flipped her lidShe said, youre trying to getSomethin for nothinlike the pilgrims in the olden daysWe rode for a whileTill the sun went awayAnd I realized it was a sort of an honorBeinaround this girlI felt embarassedOf what I tried to do earlier that dayShe was the saddest girl, I ever knewShe told me stories about the indian nationsAnd how the white man stole their lives awayAnd although she kinda liked meShe could never tust meAnd when the sun comes upWed go our different waysChorus:Now everybody has got the choiceBetween hotdogs and hamburgersEvery one of us has got to chooseBetween right and wrongAnd givin up or holdin onSo I dropped her offAt some railroad crossing in texasAn old indian man was waiting thereHe smiled and thanked meBut he saw right through meI could tell, he didnt like meFor my kind, he didnt careBecause to him, I was the white manThe one who sold him somethingThat he already ownedAnd it was like hed been ridin in theCar right there with usAnd I felt ashamed of my actionsAnd the way the west was really wonSo I drove down the highwayTill I came to los angelesTo the town of the angelsThe best, this country can doI got down on my kneesAnd I ask for forgivenessI said, lord, forgive usFor we know not, what we doChorus:Now everybody has got the choiceBetween hotdogs and hamburgersEvery one of us has got to chooseBetween right and wrongAnd givin up or holdin on
