Gretchen Wilson - There Goes The Neighborhood lyrics

rate me

I was born in the country on an old farm road

Worked hard for a livin' but i stilled 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 nickels and i turned it around

Hitched up my trailer and my chickens and cows

And moved right into town

Chorus

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 unpacking 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 Vern and said "Come cut the grass"

He showed up on his mower with a half-empty flask

You oughtta see the people slowin' down when they pass

Sayin' "Man would you look at that"

Repeat Chorus

They got poodles and pools and alarms

I've got pit bulls and pistold and ponds

Yeah, they're playin' possum

While i'm livin' high on the hog

Repeat Chorus

You throw a hillbilly lof into the hollywood

There goes the neighborhood
