(Carlene Carter)

To have and hold suburban life

Forever live as man and wife

Welcomed by the neighborhood

The neighbors here are really good

They say "What's mine is yours

And yours is mine"

Swap-meat the American way

You can have it twice a day

Swap-meat the American way

It's indoor recreation at its best

Hold me back, it's just too much

I've never seen the like of such

I must admit it beats the bars

No broken hearts or nasty scars

Just carpet burns and wait your turns

Swap-meat the American way

You can have it twice a day

Swap-meat the American way

Ahh it's strictly code of the road

Detectives breaking down the door

The evidence laid on the floor

Pistol-packin' romeos, stop illegal loops and holes...

My old man says it's time to go

But I just wants to do-si-do

I can't stop this jig and jag

I wanna swing my little honey

To the swamp-meat rag

Community property, it's all in the family

Swap-meat the American way

You can have it twice a day

Swap-meat the American way

Swap-meat the American way

Swap-meat the American way
