Corey Smith - There Goes The Neighborhood Lyrics






I had a place on a dirt road’s end,
back in the woods near the Broad River bend.
I had a double-wide, back side of the family farm.
Kinfolks lived on every side.
We all got a lot when Granddaddy died.
When he left this earth, he left this earth behind.
'Til a man came around, he was looking to buy,
said he’d make us rich in the blink of an eye,
so we scratched our heads and said, "How much are we talking about?"

There goes the neighborhood. There goes the neighborhood
There goes the neighborhood. Oh, there she blows.
There goes the neighborhood.

Now my driveway’s where the blacktop ends,
back in the middle of a cul-de-sac bend.
I got a fairway view down to the fourteenth hole.
The dues are expensive but the club is cool.
We got a zero entry swimming pool,
we got a guard at the gate and one hell of an HOA. Yeah.

There goes the neighborhood. There goes the neighborhood.
There goes the neighborhood. Oh, there she blows.
There goes the neighborhood.

Now I get a letter if my grass turns brown,
if my shrubs are too tall, if a limb falls down.
I get a letter if my dog runs out of the yard.
Can’t park my boat in the driveway now
without somebody ‘round here having a cow.
I should’ve read a little closer before I put my name on the line.

I’m hitting the road in a U-Haul truck.
Ain’t it funny how stuff gets all messed up?
This used to be the country, but the country’s all a suburb now
and I’m outta here!

There goes the neighborhood. There goes the neighborhood.
There goes the neighborhood. Oh, there she blows.
There goes the neighborhood.

    Corey no shit this is what happened in real life. My grandaddy inherited 53 acres from my great grandaddy when i was like 10. My family mom dad me my brother and sister moved onto that 53 acres. since i was 12 i built goat barns,cow barns, sheds,and lean to's. when i was 22 i finally got my own double wide. my grandmother had died and i got married had 2 kids blah blah. my grandmother died july of 2014 and for sure my grandfather wasnt long after. 2015 he died having alzheimers my father took over the land and within a year he sold it. it had leans against it we could not afford to stay there. my own father sold the land and our houses on it, they are and have been building a subdivision there. my brother still lives there but we all had to move. my father sold our house out from under my family and we all separated. we havent talked since. this song hits so far home and so deep within my bones its not funny. Thanks for putting some light and a good tune to those who get caught up in this kind of thing. Its a shame but ironically it was a blessing in disguise. My best friend and dog was buried there next to the biggest oak i could find on the property, ironically that oak tree stood right beside my grandparents house. Keep pluckin!
