Lyrics:
“Trailerhood”
My neighbor carl, he lives next door
Pink flamingos on his porch
At night he teaches driving school
And he sits out by his plastic poolHe takes off his shirt he opens up a cold one
Old Carls Deans a fool but it takes one to know oneMusics playin’ up and down the block
Mostly christian blues, country folk and southern rock
It’s a little piece of paradise way out here in the woods
There’s always something going on down in the trailerhoodAcross the street there’s gambling Jane who’s always got the poker game
If you care to try your luck you can buy a seat for 15 bucks
You can call to raise or you can check and fold ’em
I like five card stud but it’s mostly Texas hold ’emMusics playin’ up and down the block
Mostly christian blues, country folk and southern rock
It’s a little piece of paradise way out here in the woods
There’s always something going on down in the trailerhoodMy new tattoos and farmer tans, rodeo and NASCAR fans
Dallas Cowboy football on TV
When the storm starts getting bad, you hear the those sirens humming
Grab a six pack and a lawn chair there’s a tornado coming…. alright ….
Musics playin’ up and down the block
Mostly christian blues, country folk and southern rock
It’s a little piece of paradise way out here in the woods
There’s always something going on down in the trailerhoodI got ‘er made in the shade with the moonshine lemonade
There’s a party going on down in the trailerhoodBring me another beer, Momma
