"Dexter was this little town
my family used to live in.
All my kin lived real close
and everyone had an opinion.
Grandma and gramps lived up
the street right next to the
walnut tree. Grandpa died of
parkinsons in 1983"

"Riding on the go-cart, at my next
door neighbors house. I
couldn't tell the brake
peddle, from the cavities
in his mouth. Ran right
over his dog and cat,
as the wheels left the
ground. Didn't know a
tree could make such a
resonating sound"

"Thanksgiving was at Roosters
house on a cold holiday.
I was voting turkey but we
had chicken anyway. Never
thought that I'd get sick,
but the bird had it's reasoning.
Nothing I'd say quite like good
ol' salmanella poisoning"

Jenkins were some strange folks,
who lived on down the street.
Mobile homes and pickup trucks,
they were all some kind of
freaks. Jimmy, he could fix
a car but he couldn't read
a book. High school taught
him nothing that a 350 V-8
wouldn't"
