lyrics

Cousin Wally writes a bowling column for the newspaper
Scores and spares and funny stories on the side
He sparked a scandal growing bushes in his house trailer
They took his plants, my uncle nearly died

My home town

And Cousin Leo learned his barber trade in the penitentiary
Now that was not his fault, that woman led him on
And here he’s got his own shop over by the bakery
Get there by nine or all the bread is gone

My home town

Oh I’d love to go back where it’s simple and sweet
Where it’s safe and secure and my life is complete
Stepping through sand-grass and not on some street, oh yeah

Yeah I’d love to go back where it’s simple and sweet
Where it’s safe and secure and my life is complete
Walking through clover and not on concrete, oh yeah

My parents’ lawn boy liked stalking ladies wearing lingerie
Where he found his size we’ll probably never know
After this last time, the judge, I heard he threw the key away
The summer’s coming, guess Dad will have to mow

My home town
