Karaoké Livin' Next to Leroy Ashley McBryde

I used to roll my cigarettes on the hood of my Tacoma

I 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

Leroy was a transplant from somewhere in Alabama

The first time I met him he asked me for a spoon

And I thought he must have 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 will get ya, boy

Livin' next to Leroy

In the classroom

Susie Highschool was passin' pills like notes

Takin' shots in the parkin' lot at lunch

And I'd join in every now and then

'Cos you can't beat the cool crowd

I'd go to Leroy's 'till I sobered up

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 that class ring's will get ya, boy

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, 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 hight you get when that last hit get ya, boy
