  • 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 Writer/s: JOSHUA O. TURNER
