Dexter was this little town my family used to live in |
|
All my kin lived real close and everyone had an opinion |
|
Grandma and gramps lived up the street, right next to the walnut tree |
|
Grandpa died of Parkinsons in 1983 |
|
Riding on the gocart at my next door neighbor's house |
|
I couldn't tell the brake peddle from the cavities in his mouth |
|
Ran right over his dog and cat as the wheels left the ground |
|
I didn't know a tree could make such a resonating sound |
|
Trips in the ambulance like rides at the county fair |
|
Needles, shots, and setting bones anyone can bare |
|
Hospitals smell real good, and HBO is free |
|
Dexter town is simple people, just like you and me |
|
Thanksgiving was a Roosters house on a cold holiday |
|
I was voting turkey, but we had chicken anyway |
|
Never thought that I'd get sick but the bird had its reasoning |
|
Nothing I'd say quite like "Good ol' salmanella poisoning" |
|
Trips in the ambulance like rides at the county fair |
|
Needles, shots, and setting bones anyone can bare |
|
Hospitals smell real good, and HBO is free |
|
Dexter town is simple people, just like you and me |
|
The Jenkins were some strange folks who lived on down the street |
|
Mobile homes and pickup trucks, they were all some kind of freaks |
|
Jimmy, he could fix a car but he couldn't read a book |
|
High school taught him noth'n that an old 350 V-8 wouldn't |
|
Trips in the ambulance like rides at the county fair |
|
Needles, shots, and setting bones anyone can bare |
|
Hospitals smell real good, and HBO is free |
|
Dexter town is simple people, just like you and me |
