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 pool He takes off his shirt, he opens up a cold one Ol' Carl Dean's a fool, but it takes one to know one Music's playing 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 trailerhood Across the street there's gambling James Always got the poker game If you care to try your luck You can buy a seat for fifteen bucks You can call to raise Or you can check and fold 'em I like five card stud, But it's mostly Texas hold 'em Music's playing 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 trailerhood My new tattoos and farmer tans, Rodeo and NASCAR fans Dallas Cowboys football on t.v. When the storm starts getting bad You hear those sirens humming Grab a six pack and a lawn chair There's a tornado coming Alright Music's playing 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 trailerhood I got her made in the shade with the moonshine lemonade There's a party going on down in the trailerhood Bring me another beer Mama
