When I was 12
While checkin' the mail 
I was admiring the car
of the man next door
and thinkin' to myself (man)
one of these days
i'm gonna have me a house like that
with a big red door
and his yard was mowed 
and his grass was green
and the driveway was edged 
and all the [bad word] were trimmed so perfectly
I had a [bad word] on his wife
and I played ball with his son
I pondered how much money he made
went inside and turned the TV on

And he was layin'
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
the first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said he had a smile on his face
His final offer
The steam on the mirror said 'one more thing to say'

I was watchin' TV
Having one of mom's famous rice-krispy treats
Watchin' tom n' jerry
I heard a car horn beep
I ran to the window 
His wife an son were home
With bags of stuff they had got at the mall
I went in my room and got my glove and ball
I lept off the steps
asked his son could he play
and his son looked at his wife and his wife told his son
i guess itd be ok
That beautiful woman
She walked in that beautiful house
And when i realized i forgot my hat
I said 'I'll be back' and turned around

And he was layin'
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
the first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said he had a smile on his face
His final offer
The steam on the mirror said 'one more thing to say'

There was screaming 
There was crying 
And there were sirens 
I thought I was dreamin' 
and the sun was shining 
It was a beautiful day 
His wife was talkin' to an officer 
Through the noise I heard her say

And he was layin'
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said he had a smile on his face
His final offer
The steam on the mirror said 'I got one more thing to say'

And he was layin'
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said he had a smile on his face
His final offer
The steam on the mirror said

And he was layin'
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said he had a smile on his face
His final offer
The steam on the mirror said 'I got one more thing to say'
