There Goes The Neighborhood

Lyrics

I was born in the country on an old farm road
 Worked hard for a livin' but I still stayed broke
 Everything I had was either borrowed or loaned
 Except my mobile home
 I started pickin' and a grinnin' and a drawin' a crowd
 Saved up my nickles and I turned it around
 Hitched up the trailer and my chickens and cows
 Moved right into town
 There goes the neighborhood
 Trashin' it up just like you knew we would
 You throw a hillbilly log into the Hollywood
 And there goes the neighborhood
 I couldn't wait to start unpackin' my stuff
 Pulled out the pink flamingos and I put 'em in front
 Cranked up the stereo in my old truck, iced down a case of Bud
 Called uncle Vernon said, "Come cut the grass"
 He showed up on his mower with a half-empty flask
 You ought to see the people slowin' down in they path
 Sayin', "Man, would you look at that?"
 There goes the neighborhood
 Trashin' it up just like you knew we would
 You throw a hillbilly log into the Hollywood
 And there goes the neighborhood
 They got Poodles and pools and? lawnmowers?
 I got Pitt Bulls and pistols and? ponds?
 Yeah, they're playing opossum while I'm living high on the Hog
 There goes the neighborhood
 Trashin' it up just like you knew we would
 You throw a hillbilly log into the Hollywood
 And there goes the neighborhood
 You throw a hillbilly log into the Hollywood
 And there goes the neighborhood
 Y'all come back now, ya hear?
