lyrics

She spent a long time waiting in the check-out lane of the Big Mart
Only to catch every traffic light
She’s got to get home and make sure everything is all right
Tonight, the neighbors will be coming around

Park the car in front and bring everything into the backyard
Set up the nylon chairs and lights
She pretty’s herself up and then she brings herself down
And she opens up the door to the backyard
And the neighbors start coming around

They make such a fine little couple
You can be the one you want
But you never feel the trouble
Because they’ve got a way
Of making you feel right at home

I don’t need you to be my rock
If you’re gunning for my head
I’m as high as a balloon
In a bulletproof vest

The music turns up and the people come around
The best little party in this side of town
It’s a perfect night for a perfect night
The beers come out and the cooler melts down
In the full moonlight of the backyard
And all the neighbors start dancing around

She’s pleasant and she’s polite
But sitting in the chair she’s feeling resigned
Because last night he tried to cut her hair with a knife

I don’t need you to be my rock
If you’re gunning for my head
I’m as high as a balloon
In a bulletproof vest
