family used to live in.

I couldn't tell the brake peddle 
from the cavities in his mouth.
Ran right over his dog and cat, as 
the wheels left the ground.
Didn't know that a tree could make 
such a resonating sound.

-Chorus-
G               D               
Trips in the ambulance are like 
A             A
rides to the county fair.
G                 D             
Needles,shots and settin' bones 
A             A
anyone can bare.
G               D         A     
Hospitals smell real good HBO is
     A
 free.
G               D             A
Dexter town is simple people just 
like you and me.

-Verse3-
Thanksgiving was a Roosters house on
 a cold holiday.
I was voting turkey, but we had 
chicken anyway.
Never thought that I'd get sick, but
 the bird had its reasoning.
Nothing I'd say quite as good as ol'
 salmanella poisoning.

-Chorus-

-Verse4-
Jenkins were some strange folks that
 lived on down the street.
Mobile homes and pick-up trucks, 
they were all some kind of freaks.
Jimmy, he could fix cars, but he 
couldn't read a book.
High school taught him noth'n a 350 
v8 wouldn't.
