Livin' Next to Leroy

Used to roll my cigarettes on the hood of my Tacoma
Sit and watch the world go by
I was seventeen and green and knowin' nothin' 'bout livin'
In a town where people go to die
But Leroy was a transplant from somewhere in Alabama
First time I met him he asked me for a spoon
And I thought he must've been in a bluegrass band or somethin'
But I'd find out one August afternoon
Three doors down there's tinfoil on the table
They ain't cookin' up nothin' good 'round here
There's one in every house high on the couch stealin' cable
On the dark side of the country it ain't bonfires it ain't beer
But you find out quick how big a hit the neighbor's bike'll get ya boy
A livin' next to Leroy
In the classroom Susie Highschool was passin' pills like notes
Takin' shots in the parkin' lot of lunch
And I'd join in every now and then 'cause you can't beat the cool crowd
I'd go to Leroy's 'til I sobered up
Three doors down there's tinfoil on the table
And they ain't cookin' up nothin' good 'round here
There's one in every house high on the couch stealin' cable
On the dark side of the country it ain't bonfires it ain't beer
But you find out quick how big a hit that class ring'll get you boy
A livin' next to Leroy
I rolled a J on the day I got my diploma
I knew Leroy would be proud
I can't forget shakin' him tryin' to wake him on that sofa
He never did come 'round
Yeah ah three doors down there's tinfoil on the table
They ain't cookin' up nothin' good 'round here
There's one in every house high on the couch stealin' cable
On the dark side of the country it ain't bonfires it ain't beer
But you find out quick how high
You get when that last hit gets you boy
Livin' next to Leroy
Ay ya
Livin' next to Leroy
Oh yeah oh
Next to Leroy
Ay ya en
