It’s a right fine day and I can see the sun
and I’m drivin’ south down 301
and I’m not really hungry but I see the sign
And I wonder if I can pass it up this time. Ooooo (the sign says)

Chorus:  
Hot boiled peanuts.  Hot boiled peanuts.
I like ‘em.  You like ‘em.  Hey we all like ‘em.
Hot boiled peanuts.  Hot boiled peanuts.

I’m liftin’ up my foot and I take it off the gas
and I put it on the brake ‘cause I know I can’t pass
up the man who’s standing by the side of the road
with a smile so wide and his tailgate load

Bridge:
In his truck, he’s got a pot
in his pot, he’s got some hot.
Oooo STOP
Now I know I gotta have some…. (Chorus)

I’m takin’ out my wallet and I peel off some cash
The dipper goes down ‘n makes a little splash
My mouth starts waterin’, ‘cause it won’t be long
I’ll be scarfin’ down peanuts ‘n singin’ my song. (Chorus)

I keep tellin’ myself that it ain’t no dream			
I got the world’s finest peanuts with the salt and the steam
and the doc’s gonna scream when I step on the scale
But if he’d try ‘em just once, he’d know why I wail for my…. (Chorus)
