Lyrics
Noon sun blazing and the line's out the door Round the corner past the bank and the shoe store Smell of onions sizzling, got my stomach on a drum Forty people waiting, yeah, I'm number twenty-one Window slides open, steam rolling up Cook with a smile and a paper cup Hot sauce, lime, a little extra crunch Worth every minute of the lunchtime hunch Step by step, closer to the sizzle Step by step, hear the grill go drizzle Line, line, around the corner Worth the wait, we're all in order Line, line, hey, hey, hey Food truck magic every day Line, line, around the corner Hungry hearts and a happy warner Line, line, hey, hey, hey Ordering the special, make my day Lady in front is an old friend now Showed me pictures of her pup, took a bow Guy in a suit is losing his tie to the breeze Kid on a scooter asking for extra cheese We trade our stories while the minutes roll Everybody's hungry, everybody's whole Number called out and it's finally mine Tacos in a tray looking so divine Step by step, closer to the sizzle Step by step, hear the grill go drizzle Line, line, around the corner Worth the wait, we're all in order Line, line, hey, hey, hey Food truck magic every day Line, line, around the corner Hungry hearts and a happy warner Line, line, hey, hey, hey Ordering the special, make my day Sit on the curb with the foil in my lap First bite hits and the world goes snap Salsa on my sleeve and I do not care Crunch and a laugh in the open air Thank you to the crew in the metal-box kitchen Running on heat and a whole lot of mission Tip jar full, yeah, I'm dropping a five Come back tomorrow, I'm staying alive Clap for the cook, clap for the cook Best meal in town and it's off the hook Clap for the cook, clap for the cook Line goes long but it's worth a look Line, line, around the corner Worth the wait, we're all in order Line, line, hey, hey, hey Food truck magic every day Line, line, around the corner Hungry hearts and a happy warner Line, line, hey, hey, hey Ordering the special, make my day Line, line, hey, hey, hey Come on down, we'll save your place
