Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I grew up in a sea of red
All the dirt, the debt, and the cigarettes
And all the words that Jesus said
Still in my heart, still in my head
[Verse 2]
But daddy's on the couch in a Busch Light coma
Brother's on parole, stuck in Oklahoma
20 to 1, I wouldn't get my diploma
But there it is hanging on the wall
I can hear 'em back home, singing
[Verse 3]
Hell, hell trailer park hero
Got a new car and a used tuxedo
Aww, hell, look at you now
You got your first comma in your bank account
Well, you made it out but you're still in
We still remember when
Your momma was smoking in the third trimester
Yeah, you might wear leather, but you're made of polyester
Yeah, polyester
[Verse 4]
Now I got a nice house out in Tennessee
Ain't got wheels, but it's got AC
Momma's on the phone updating me
'Cause sister won a raffle, got a new TV
[Verse 5]
And daddy's off the beer, now he's on to Dr. Pepper
Brother hit a deer, gotta grill it on the Weber
Million to one, I wouldn't hit a gold record
There it is hanging on the wall
I can hear 'em back home, singing
[Verse 6]
Hell, hell trailer park hero
Got a new car and a used tuxedo
Aww, hell, look at you now
You got your first comma in your bank account
Well, you made it out but you're still in
We still remember when
You dropped out of OK Tech first semester
Yeah, you might wear leather, but you're made of polyester
Aww, hell
[Verse 7]
Now I got a couple kids in the backyard swinging
Light years away from my upbringing
Back of my head, I hear 'em back home singing
Uh huh, and they sing
[Verse 8]
Hell, hell trailer park hero
Got a new car and a used tuxedo
Aww, hell, look at you now
You got your first comma in your bank account
Well, you made it out but you're still in
We still remember when
You were sitting in your room trying to learn Def Leppard
Yeah, you might wear leather, but you're made of polyester
Oh, not too shabby for a troubadour drifter
Yeah, you might wear leather, but you're made of polyester
Yeah, polyester
Yeah, polyester
Yeah, polyester
Mmm, yeah
