Howdy! I'm gonna tell y'all a story you ain't gonna believe It's about UFOs, big rigs, and barbecue
Well, I'm squishin' armadillos out on Interstate 10 Headin' out of Houston once again Then I seen somethin shootin' right across the sky All covered in fur with one big eye... Shazam! So I stomped on my brakes, let my baby whine I'm havin' me a close encounter of the diesel kind Then the spaceman spoke, it sound sorta funny Kinda like a Yankee banker all outta money You know what he told me? He said:
Well, UFOs are big rigs That come from Outer Space Stoppin' off at the truck stop Earth Lookin' for some food to eat Ya can't get no Beanie Weenies Out past the Great Unknown UFOs are big rigs far from home
Now that furry flyin' saucer guy said he was lookin' for some barbecue! So I took him down to Dreamland Barbecue down in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. You know what we got?
We got ribs, white bread, and ice cold beer We was eatin' so hard I didn't even stare And that boy was ugly too Said the waitress reminded him of someone who was far, far away Took another white pill, another long day Everybody now!
Well, UFOs are big rigs That come from Outer Space Stoppin' off at the truck stop Earth Lookin' for some food to eat Ya can't get no Beanie Weenies Out past the Great Unknown Yeah, UFOs are big rigs far from home
C'mon, boys, I think I see Mr. Spock over there! Hey!
Then that space alien said somethin' that was music To my truck drivin' carbuncle-budded ears: \"Well, out past Mars ain't no speed limit!\" Said he owns his space truck, he don't rent it And his back was achin', could he somewhere get him a massage? There stood Sapphire's Space Age Love Garage Ha Ha! C'mon!
Well, UFOs are big rigs That come from Outer Space Stoppin' off at the truck stop Earth Lookin' for some food to eat Ya can't get no Beanie Weenies Out past the Great Unknown Yeah, UFOs are big rigs far from home Yeah, UFOs are big rigs far from home
