Subdivision Blues

[Verse 1:] 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 [Chorus:] I got the mean old subdivision blues [Verse 2:] 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 boxer 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3:] But I bought my house because it was located near a school Now a bus comes by and takes my kids to Istanbul 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 and 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 [Chorus] [Verse 4:] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 5:] 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 and 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 Yeah, it's hell to have the subdivision blues [Chorus:] Got those mean old subdivision blues
