Tale of a redneck hoarder

Lyrics

"Too Much Stuff (So I Sleep in the Barn)"
Yves Stilmant © 2025
Tempo: 120 BPM
Style: Country Rock (with heavy guitars and a solo)
Theme: Cowboy hoarder with no clue he's got a problem
Tone: Hilarious, high-energy, redneck ridiculous

[Verse 1]
Well I got six recliners and a jukebox grill,
Four broken tractors sittin' on the hill,
A velvet Elvis, a moonshine still,
And a bathtub full of vintage roadkill.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Got a goat on the porch and a couch in a tree,
There's a blender in my bed where my wife should be.
I swear I'm normal, don't need no alarm...
Just tripped on a lamp shaped like a gnome's arm.

[Chorus]
Now I sleep with my horse, 'cause my house is full,
Of antique mugs and a bull skull stool,
TVs stacked up to the chimney top,
Got a raccoon guardin' my old pawn shop.
Ain't no room for me -- but I got space for yarn,
So I'm sharin' a stall and snorin' in the barn.

[Verse 2]
Got a stuffed squirrel band playin' banjo jazz,
Fifty fake beards and my grandma's brass,
A cardboard cutout of Johnny Cash,
And a toilet throne made outta broken glass.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
There's a chainsaw swing and a gravy boat wall,
My recliner's parked in the upstairs hall.
Tried to clean up, but I bought more yarn--
Now I'm spoonin' my horse out in the barn.

[Chorus]
Yeah I sleep with my horse, 'cause my house is tight,
Been collectin' junk since Tuesday night,
Found a used toupee and a lava lamp,
Bought a truckload of teeth from a vampire camp.
My fridge holds shoes and a lucky jar of yarn,
So I'm warmin' my boots in a hayloft barn.

[Bridge - Guitar Solo]
[Instrumental: Screamin' southern-rock solo, twangy licks & fuzz]
YEEHAW!
?? "I got ten lawn chairs on my chandelier!!"

[Final Chorus]
Yeah I sleep with my horse, and he don't complain,
'Bout my sock drawer filled with model trains.
They say I hoard -- but I say I collect,
Like 500 forks and a moose named Jeff.
I'm the king of crap from dusk till dawn --
Y'all send help, I'm stuck in the barn!

Outro
"Some folks got a man cave -- I got a hay cave."
