Fried Green Tomatoes
Stopped in Opp Alabama
Found me a mom and pop diner
Taking a break from the windshield wipers
Walked in, sat down next to a true blue old timer
I was half talking, half trying to read the chalkboard menu
Waitress said "honey, let me know when you know what you want"
I asked the old man what he thought
He said I think it's true what they say, blondes have more fun
I think it's a damn shame when the good die young
She wants to see the ocean, I think you oughta take her
It ain't as bad as it says in the papers
Forgiving is easy, forgetting is hard
I think Elvis and Jesus were real rock stars
And yeah, the secrets of love are secrets of me too
Buddy, trust me
Get the fried green tomatoes
Said I'm on my way to see a girl down in mobile
Messed up, I gotta tell her how I feel
Seems like you mighta danced this dance
You think I've got a chance?
You said I think it's true what they say fortune favors the bold
I think the Chiefs got screwed outta two super bowls
She wants to see the ocean, I think you oughta take her
Mother in laws make for awful neighbors
Forgiving is easy, forgetting is hard
I think Elvis and Jesus were real rock stars
And yeah, the secrets of love are secrets of me too
Buddy, trust me
Get the fried green tomatoes
And a big ol' glass of sweet tea
You're gonna love 'em, I guarantee
Yeah, the rest is just a lottery
Forgiving is easy, forgetting is hard
I think Elvis and Jesus were real rock stars
And yeah, the secrets of love are secrets of me too
Buddy, trust me, get the fried green tomatoes
Found me a mom and pop diner
Taking a break from the windshield wipers
