[Intro] Well, I tell you what... This is becoming a situation. [Verse 1] I woke up this mornin', checked the thermostat, Six degrees too high, now what do you think of that? Neighbor's got a grill that's burnin' gasoline, That's not how you cook meat, that's a fire hazard scene. Got a propane tank sittin' safely in the shed, A clean blue flame and a roof over my head. I don't understand kids and their complicated phones, Back in my day, you called somebody on the home telephone. [Chorus] Propane state of mind, Everything's just fine, If the flame burns blue, Then we're doin' it right. Propane state of mind, Keep the pressure in line, I don't need excitement, I just need my grill tonight. [Verse 2] My buddy made a suggestion that I found concerning, Said we could use charcoal—now my stomach started turning. I said, "That's your business," but I knew that wasn't true, Because smoke in the backyard is everybody's issue. There's a man down the street with a suspicious lawn, He lets it grow wild from dusk until dawn. I don't judge a man, that's not the Texas way, But somebody oughta mention that grass doesn't pay rent. [Bridge] I like things simple. I like things dependable. I like a furnace that works and a grill that doesn't explode. [Final Chorus] Propane state of mind, Everything's just fine, Keep the cylinder upright, And respect the warning sign. Propane state of mind, Orderly and refined, Life gets complicated, But the grill stays on time. [Outro] Well... That was a perfectly reasonable evening.
