40 Acres and a Fool

Lyrics

My new neighbor from the city
 Bought 40 acres up the road
 He made his money in the market
 Now he's wearing cowboy clothes
 He's got no cows or chickens
 But the hat and boots look cool
 When he parties on the weekend
 40 acres and a fool
 ♪
 He says he's getting into ranching
 He's got a pretty trophy wife
 Set her up in a McMansion
 But now he's tryin' to wreck my life
 He drives around in his new Hummer
 I tell my kids, "Don't walk to school"
 Took out my mailbox, squashed a possum
 40 acres and a fool
 ♪
 He don't need to borrow nothing
 'Cause he's got one of every tool
 Installed a laptop on his Bobcat
 Then drove it right into the pool
 I never see his hands get dirty
 And I'm not jealous as a rule
 Can't get used to living next to
 40 acres and a fool
 ♪
 He goes to Cancun in the winter
 I get relief for a week or two
 Then he's back here with a vengeance
 Sometimes life can be so cruel
 The county officials are his buddies
 He uses money like a tool
 He wines and dines them on the weekends
 What's this country coming to?
 40 acres and a fool
