| Out on the edge of town I bought a two room brick
|
| Moved in as soon as I got the plumbin' all fixed
|
| Making them payments worked my fingers to the bone
|
| Anything I had to do to get myself a home
|
| There was water in the basement it looked like a swimming pool
|
| The man said son that water’ll help to keep your cottage cool
|
| The Welcome Wagon brought me out some sleepin' pills and booze
|
| I got the mean old subdivision blues
|
| Somebody came and knocked my fence down just the other day
|
| Tore up my yard and hauled my lawnmower away
|
| Shot out my windows with the BB gun
|
| A buggsy down the street came by and beat up my son
|
| So I went out and bought myself a big old German dog
|
| The man behind me saw me and he started raisin' hogs
|
| A nineteen year old girl next door is sunnin' in the nude
|
| I got those mean old subdivision blues
|
| But I bought my house because it was located near a school
|
| Now a bus comes by and takes my kids to Istambul
|
| The guy next door just bought his son a brand new saxophone
|
| The man behind me sued him cause his hogs were leavin' home
|
| My buddy left his wife now he’s livin' in a tent
|
| A hippie sued me cause I did not have a room to rent
|
| They built a trailer park before I had a chance to move
|
| I got them mean old subdivision blues
|
| Well I moved out in the country just as far as I could go I couldn’t even get the Grand Ole Opry on the radio
|
| I guess you know what happened just as soon as I moved in The man across the valley started clearin' off this land
|
| The law came out and said that I would have to move my barn
|
| They said the man next door was gonna subdivide his farm
|
| They auctioned off my farm to build the state another school
|
| I got the mean old subdivision blues
|
| Well other night I dreamed I died and I went right straight to hell
|
| I don’t know what I did but you know you can never tell
|
| They handed me a key and handed me a little map
|
| They said you got a place to live we’ll show you where it’s at They took me to a two room brick just on the edge of town
|
| With thirty thousand other little houses falling down
|
| A million years to pay it off with payments overdue
|
| It’s hell to have the subdivision blues got those mean old subdivision blues |
