The Fema Trailer Song Lyrics - Singles - Jw Cooper

Oh Lord Im too tall to live in a FEMA Trailer 

I bump my head on the light bulb when I walk down the hall 

But Lord Im not complaining, cause its sure dry when its raining 

And I could be living back home with my Maw 

Sunday afternoon I was living in a 2000 square foot house 

With all the comforts of home that made it nice 

Watching my TV, soaking up the AC, 

and sippin on a glass of sweet tea with ice 

Monday night I was sleeping on the floor, down at my big brothers 

Listnin to the generator and sweatin like a hog 

Tuesday I ate an MRE and drove to Denver for gasoline 

And a place where I could make that government assistance telephone call 

Thank you for calling the Federal Emergency Management Agency Disaster Hotline. 

Due to the high call volume we are unable to take your call. 

You will now be disconnected. 

Oh Lord Im too tall to live in a FEMA Trailer 

I bump my head on the light bulb when I walk down the hall 

But Lord Im not complaining, cause its sure dry when its raining 

And I could be living back home with my Maw 

Spoken: 

Well it only took em six months to set me up and to be honest with you, 

I am truly blessed. Cause theres nothing like being able to sit on the bed 

and watch the stove while suppers cooking 

and be able to see the TV all at the same time. 

At night I can hear the tattered blue tarp on whats left of my house 

flapping in the breeze and I am thankful that I have a roof over my head. 

And Heaven-forbid if we ever go through something like this again, 

well just pick ourselves up, dust off and go on. 

Cause thats just the kind of folks we are down here. 

Bridge: 

Well I can't change a lightbulb without a letter from my Congressman 

It takes a certified FEMA Repairman just to change out my doormat 

And the funniest thing that happened to me was 

Well, they put in these lil ol' 2x8 doorsteps 

And wouldn't you know about the third day them rascals fell flat 

Oh Lord Im too tall to live in a FEMA Trailer 

I bump my head on the light bulb when I walk down the hall 

But Lord Im not complaining, cause its sure dry when its raining 

And I could be living back home with my Maw
