White Trash

When I met her she was a beauty queen

Who wanted something more

Now she's hanging out with me in front of the liquor store

And it won't start when I shut it off

So she has to get the beer

She puts it in the back seat

And she quietly says to me

When, exactly, did we become white trash

How come we have seven dogs living in the garage

How come the only eight track in our car is Johnny Cash

When, exactly, did we become white trash

And she tells everybody that I've got my PhD

But it stands for Post Hole Digger

It ain't exactly a degree

And there's curtains on the window

And we hardly watch TV

And that double wide is triple wide

Now that's she's with me

And she says

When, exactly, did we become white trash

How come we got seven dogs

And who burned down the garage

How come the only eight track in our car is Johnny Cash

When, exactly, did we become white trash

Girls: When, exactly, did we become white trash

Boys: When, exactly, did we become white trash

When, exactly, did we become white trash
