Kiddie Pool Blues

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna fill my kiddie pool,
Ain't fancy, but it sure feels cool.
Beer in my hand, shade in my yard,
Summer's hittin' me a little too hard.
Plastic crinkles, water splashes wide,
Just me and this heat on a lazy ride.
[Chorus]
Kiddie pool blues, that's how I roll,
Cold can in my grip, filling my soul.
The sun's a devil, but I ain't no fool,
I'll beat the heat in my kiddie pool.
[Verse 2]
Neighbor's dog barks, kids run by,
Cicadas hum their southern cry.
Barefoot on the grass, I take my place,
Sweat rolling slow, but I’m keeping my grace.
Ain't no ocean, ain't no lake,
But it does the job for goodness' sake.
[Chorus]
Kiddie pool blues, that's how I roll,
Cold can in my grip, filling my soul.
The sun's a devil, but I ain't no fool,
I'll beat the heat in my kiddie pool.
[Bridge]
No yacht, no dock, no crystal sand,
Just a plastic ring and a beer in hand.
Call it silly, call it cheap,
But life's alright in water knee-deep.
[Chorus]
Kiddie pool blues, that's how I roll,
Cold can in my grip, filling my soul.
The sun's a devil, but I ain't no fool,
I'll beat the heat in my kiddie pool.
