Grandma and Gramps lived up the street, right next to the walnut tree.

Grandpa died of parkinsons in nineteen eighty-three.

-Verse2-

Riding on the go-cart at my next door neighbors house.

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 A A

Trips in the ambulance are like rides to the county fair.

Hospitals smell real good HBO is free.

Dexter town is simple people just like you and me.
