Oh Lord Im too tall to live in a FEMA Trailer I bump my head on the light bulb when I walk down the hall But Lord Im not complaining, cause its sure dry when its raining And I could be living back home with my Maw Sunday afternoon I was living in a 2000 square foot house With all the comforts of home that made it nice Watching my TV, soaking up the AC, and sippin on a gla** of sweet tea with ice Monday night I was sleeping on the floor, down at my big brothers Listnin to the generator and sweatin like a hog Tuesday I ate an MRE and drove to Denver for gasoline And a place where I could make that government a**istance telephone call Thank you for calling the Federal Emergency Management Agency Disaster Hotline. Due to the high call volume we are unable to take your call. You will now be disconnected.

I am truly blessed. Cause theres nothing like being able to sit on the bed and watch the stove while suppers cooking and be able to see the TV all at the same time. At night I can hear the tattered blue tarp on whats left of my house flapping in the breeze and I am thankful that I have a roof over my head. And Heaven-forbid if we ever go through something like this again, well just pick ourselves up, dust off and go on. Cause thats just the kind of folks we are down here. Bridge: Well I can't change a lightbulb without a letter from my Congressman It takes a certified FEMA Repairman just to change out my doormat And the funniest thing that happened to me was Well, they put in these lil ol' 2x8 doorsteps And wouldn't you know about the third day them rascals fell flat Oh Lord Im too tall to live in a FEMA Trailer I bump my head on the light bulb when I walk down the hall But Lord Im not complaining, cause its sure dry when its raining And I could be living back home with my Maw Copyright 2006 JW Cooper, Jr. Three Green Nanners, BMI
