There Goes The Neighborhood Lyrics - One Of The Boys - Gretchen Wilson

I was born in the country on an old farm road 

Worked hard for a livin' but I still 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 nickles and I turned it around 

Hitched up the trailer and my chickens and cows 

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 unpackin' 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 Vernon said, "Come cut the grass" 

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

You ought to see the people slowin' down in they path 

Sayin', "Man, would you look at that?" 

[Chorus] 

They got poodles and pools and lawnmowers 

I got pit bulls and pistols and ponds 

Yeah, they're playing opossum while I'm living high on the hog 

[Chorus] 

You throw a hillbilly log into the Hollywood 

And there goes the neighborhood 

Y'all come back now, ya hear?
