The grill is smokin'
My friends are jokin'
The kids are pokin' around in the mud
The sprinkler's broken
We got a little backyard flood

Screw-top wine
Rhythm and rhyme
My moonshine in a plastic cup
Somewhere someone's smokin' some sweet pot luck

So the bill collector's gonna have to wait
I got a long, long line of friends
Flowin' through my back gate

Don't-cha wonder what the poor folks are doin' tonight?
C'mon we're staying up until we see the light
We got heaven on a paper plate
We got heaven y'all

The coals are glowin'
The spirits flowin'
The way it's goin' this thing might last all night
Angels vs. devils in the alleyway squirt-gun fight

So the bill collector's gonna have to wait
I got a long, long line of friends
Pourin' through my back gate
Don't-cha wonder what the poor folks are doin' tonight?
C'mon we're staying up until we see the light
We got heaven on a paper plate
We got heaven y'all
We got heaven on a paper plate
We got heaven y'all

Vegetarian or carnivore, whatever your denomination
Everybody's welcome, won't cha come and join the congregation
Yes, you!

So the bill collector's gonna have to wait
I got a long, long line of friends
Pourin' through my back gate

Don't-cha wonder what the poor folks are doin' tonight?
C'mon we're staying up until we see the light
Yeah every little thing is gonna be all right
We got heaven on a paper plate
We got heaven y'all
We got heaven on a paper plate
