I remember the smell of the creosote plant,

They lived in a big house Antebellum style,

Chorus RE SIm
Life was just a tire swing.
SOL RE'Jambalaya' was the only song I could sing.
Black-berry pickin', eatin' fried chicken,

In a few summers my folks packed me off to camp;
yeah, me and my cousin' Baxter in our pup tent with a lamp.
And in a few days Baxter went home, and he left me by myself.
And I knew that I'd stay, it was better that way,
and I could get along without any help.
(2nd chorus)
Life was just a tire swing.
'Jambalaya' was the only song I could sing.
Chasin' after sparrows with rubber-tipped arrows,
knowin' I could never hurt a thing,
and life was just a tire swing.
(then continue)
And I've never been west of New Orleans nor east of Pensacola.
SOL FA#m MI7 LAMy only contact with the outside world was an R.C.A. Victrola.
SIm LAAnd Elvis would sing and then I'd dream about expensive cars,
and who would've figured twenty years later
LA MI7 FA#m7I'd be rubbin' shoulders with the stars.
SImLife was just a tire swing.

Then the other morning on some Illinois road
I fell asleep at the wheel,
But was quickly wakened up by a 'Ma Bell' telephone pole,
and a bunch of Grant Wood faces screaming 'Is he still alive?',
But through the window I could see it hangin' from a tree,
and I knew that I had survived.
(3rd chorus)
Life was just a tire swing.
'Jambalaya's still the best song that I sing.
Black-berry pickin', eatin' fried chicken,
and I finally learned a lot about pain,
'cause life is just a tire swing.
Life was just a tire swing.
