[Bm] And it seems everybody on different teams
[Em] I don't mean to get deep, I'm just speaking the truth
[Bm] We in a two-bed trailer with a leak in the roof
[Em] I ate potatoes every way you could ever make em
[Bm] When you're hungry, gotta use your imagination
[Em] My mom did her best, she would hug and kiss me
[Bm] Even though we had more fucking mice than Disney
[Em] I still had some polos and plenty of drawers
[Bm] While she was living life with the same two bras
[Em] The lightning strikes like Garf, say thunder [Bm] rolls
Life is cold like an Eskimo in summer [Em] clothes
