My neighbor lived in Arizona

Her name is Ally Jackson

I mowed her lawn yesterday

She was telling me stories

About her days in Arizona

One time, she was outside

In the burning hot desert

Don't even ask me bro

But I guess with friends

She was playing out there

No shoes on her feet

Ridiculous if you ask me

Running around careless and free

I wish that was me

But she stepped on something

Burning, bubbling, and sizzling pain

It was a scorpion sting

Ally was so distracted playing

She wasn't paying good attention

Could never be me though
