Sittin' in the mornin' sun,
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes.
Watchin' the dust clouds rollin' in,
Quads and side-by-sides makin' all that racket again.
Yeah, I'm sittin' on my porch,
Waitin' for the warfare to come in.
Chorus
Ooh, I'm just sittin' on my porch in Bodfish,
Wastin' time...
Iced tea in hand, binoculars ready,
This valley's 'bout to lose its mind.
Verse 2
I left my home in San Bernardino,
Headed for the Kern River, thought it'd be serene.
Now the neighbor's dog is barkin' at a bear,
And Karen's yellin' 'bout my weeds bein' too extreme.
Yeah, I'm sittin' on my porch,
Waitin' for the warfare to come in.
Chorus
Ooh, I'm just sittin' on my porch in Bodfish,
Wastin' time...
Got my popcorn and my shotgun nearby,
'Cause the HOA here is half-feral, half-wild.
Verse 3
Two doors down they started shootin' cans,
At 6 AM on a Sunday, praise the Lord.
The ghost town tourists are lost again,
Askin' directions while their RVs block my ford.
Yeah, I'm sittin' on my porch,
Waitin' for the warfare to come in.
Bridge (Otis-style spoken)
Looks like nothin's gonna change...
'Cept maybe another wildfire or a loose cow on the range...
I can't do what ten people tell me to do...
So I guess I'll just wave and stay the same...
Final Verse
Sittin' here restin' my bones,
This old porch swing done seen better days.
Silver City ghosts probably laughin' at us,
While the wind kicks up and blows the drama our way.
Yeah, I'm sittin' on my porch in Bodfish,
Just waitin' for the warfare to come in...
Outro
Watchin' the "tide"... nah, watchin' the dust settle slow...
Sittin' on my porch in Bodfish...
Where the neighbors wave with one finger as they go...
