Blue Pills At Denny’s

Lyrics

Verse 1
He came in pine-scented
Boots tracked mud on tile
Big beard, hard hat, lunch pail
Smiling like a crocodile

I was halfway through my hash browns
He slid into the booth
Said, “Buddy, I split logs by daylight
But tonight I need the truth”

Pre-Chorus
He winked at the waitress
Then checked the little blue jar
Said, “I got a wild side
That likes to rev that car”

Chorus
Blue chew, blue chew
At Denny’s in the booth
Blue chew, blue chew
That man came here for proof
He said, “I’m built for timber
But I’m aiming for the moon”
Blue chew, blue chew
Pass the syrup and the swoon

Verse 2
He had a flapjack mountain
And a side of bacon grease
Said, “My ex got tired of limbo
I’m bringing back the piece”

He tapped his finger on the table
Like he was marking time
Said, “If I miss one more bedtime
I’m blaming this small crime”

I choked on my coffee
He laughed through the syrup spill
Said, “This axe just hits the ceiling
Now I’m aiming at the thrill”

Pre-Chorus
The cook peeked out the window
The busboy lost his stance
He said, “I may split a redwood
But I still need a second chance”

Chorus
Blue chew, blue chew
At Denny’s in the booth
Blue chew, blue chew
That man came here for proof
He said, “I’m built for timber
But I’m aiming for the moon”
Blue chew, blue chew
Pass the syrup and the swoon

Bridge
Then he stood up slow
Like a legend in a cap
Said, “Tell the boys in the break room
I don’t nap, I clap”

He left a tip in quarters
And a wink on the receipt
Said, “You can hear my boots at midnight
But you can’t beat that heat” (heat)

Final Chorus
Blue chew, blue chew
At Denny’s in the booth
Blue chew, blue chew
That man came here for proof
He said, “I’m built for timber
But I’m aiming for the moon”
Blue chew, blue chew
Pass the syrup and the swoon

Blue chew, blue chew
He came, he saw, he chewed
Blue chew, blue chew
Now the whole place knows the dude (the dude)
