Ridin' down a highway in my ragged Greyhound bus
Wanted to buy me some food but my money didn't have enough
No time for foolin' around I had to go an' do a show
So I edged it off the highway at a 7-11 store
I bought junk food
I bought me some junk food
I bought some junk food
I bought some junk food
I bought me some junk food, junk food
Lord, Lord, Lord
I bought a long hot dog
Wasn't no steak dinner but I ate just the same
Wasn't no hamburger, I didn't stop at Burger King
It wasn't no Fat Mac, and it wasn't no barbecue
It wasn't no collard greens, I tell ya but plain old junk food
I was eatin' junk food
I was eatin' this junk food
I was eatin' some junk food
I was eatin' this junk food
I was eatin' junk food, junk food
Lord, Lord, Lord
I ate a foot long dog
I hate this junk food
It's bad for my health
But I'm playin' these lousy blues
An' I can't afford nothin' else
Never made too much money
So that's all I've got to eat
Them Polish hot dog and I buy 'em on Maxwell Street1
Got to eat junk food
I got to eat junk food
I got to eat junk food
I got to eat junk food
I got to eat junk food, junk food
Woo Woo Wee
