John Mellencamp - Hotdogs And Hamburgers Lyrics

Drivin' down on a dry summer's day

Old route 66 and i was just a kid

Met a pretty little indian girl along the way

Got her into my car and tried to give her a kiss

I'll give you beads and wampum whatever it takes girl to make you trade

She jumped into the back seat she kind of flipped her lid

She said "you're tryin' to get something for nothing

Like the pilgrims in the olden days"

We rode for a while till the sun went away

And i realized it was sort of an honor bein' around this girl

I felt embarrassed of what i tried to do earlier that day

She was the saddest girl i ever knew

She told me stories about the indian nation

How the white man stole their lives away

And although she kinda liked me she could never trust me

And when the sun comes up we'd go our different ways

Now everybody has got the choice

Between hot-dogs and hamburgers

Everyone of us got to choose

Between right and wrong and givin' up or holdin' on yeah

So i dropped her off at some railroad crossing in texas

An old indian man was waiting there

He smiled and thanked me but he saw right through me

I could tell he didn't like me for my kind he did not care

Because to him i was the white man

The one who sold him something that he already owned

And it was like he'd been riding in the car right there with us

And i felt ashamed of my actions and the way the west was really won

Drove down the highway till i came to los angeles

The town of the angels the best this country can do

Got down on my knees and i asked for forgiveness

I said "lord forgive us for we know not what we do"

Everybody has got the choice

Between hot-dogs and hamburgers

Every one of us has got to choose

Between right and wrong and givin' up or holdin' on
