B7      E                                    B7 
When I met her she was a beauty queen who wanted something more             

               B7                E            
Now she's hanging out with me in front of the liquor store 

     E                     E7 
And it won't start when I shut it off 

        A               A7 
So she has to get the beer 

      E 
She puts it in the back seat 

         B7              E  B7     
And she quietly says to me 


E                   B7 
When, exactly, did we become white trash 

B7                          E 
How come we got seven dogs living in the garage 

E                                     A            
How come the only eight track in our car is Johnny Cash? 
           
e                  B7               E 
When, exactly, did we become white trash? 


B7   E                                   B7                                        
Now she tells all our friends that I've got my PhD 

         B7  
But it stands for Post Hole Digger 

          E 
It ain't exactly a degree 

             E                 E7 
And there's curtains on the windows 

        A 
And we hardly watch TV 

          E 
And that double-wide is triple-wide 

B7                    E 
Now that's she's with me 


B7   
And she says 

E                  B7 
When, exactly, did we become white trash 

B7 
How come we got seven dogs 

E 
Who burned down the garage 

E                  E7                 A 
How come the only eight track in our car is Johnny Cash? 

E                  B7               E 
When, exactly, did we become white trash 

         E                B7              E 
Girls: When, exactly, did we become white trash 

        E                 B7             E 
Boys: When, exactly, did we become white trash 

             E                 B7              E               
Santa Cruz: When, exactly, did we become white trash
