My Neighbor Burns Trash

>
My neighbor burns trash
In a barrel out back
And on a mighty fine day
There’s a toxic haze around my house
A-my house, a-my house, a-my house

A mighty fine way
To mess up a mighty fine day
My neighbor burns trash
In a barrel out back

Show’s up at my door
With a pizza and a bible
Preachin’ ‘bout sin, salvation and survival
Talking’ ‘bout the fires
Of the a-pork-alypse
I could see the flames
Comin’ right off her lips

She said “I got a pack a matches
And a pile a’ leaves
Three bags a-garbage
And some gasoline
Got a plastic jug
And some cellophane
Burn anything
That can’t run away”
Her outlook was pretty grim
And I happen to live downwind

My neighbor burns trash
In a barrel out back
And on a mighty fine day
There’s a toxic haze around my house
A-my house, a-my house, a-my house

A mighty fine way
To mess up a mighty nice day
My neighbor burns trash
In a barrel out back

I woke up this mornin’
And the sky was blue
A perfect day
For a barbecue
But by the time I got outside
The air burned my nose
And my eyes c’cause
My neighbor burns trash

-(Electric Guitar Solo)-

A pack a matches
And a pile a’ leaves
Three bags a-garbage
And some gasoline

Asked about her troubles
And the world’s to blame
She’ll burn anything
That’ll take to a flame

She’s a holy rollin’
Pyromaniac
Sets them fires
Just to help her relax
I’mm sitting’ in my lawn chair
Tryin’ not to choke
While I’m thinking’
‘Bout the world
Going up in smoke
We’ll all get to heaven one day[
I hope that Jesus
Doesn’t see it that way

My neighbor burns trash
In a barrel out back
And on a mighty fine day
There’s a toxic haze
Around my house
A-my house, a-my house, a-my house

A mighty fine way
To mess up a mighty nice day
My neighbor burns trash
In a barrel out back
My neighbor burns trash
In a barrel out back
Yeah, my neighbor burns trash
In a barrel out back
