Trailer Lyrics

She graduated high school
I bought her a trailer
In a little park by the side of the road
I could've had the army
I could've had the navy
But no I had to go for a mobile home

Yeah I guess I gave it all for you babe
There wasn't room in that trailer for two babe

I kept up with my interest
I kept up with my payments
She never said goodbye
I never asked why
Man we used to dance to Lynyrd Skynyrd
Boy she used to look so good at times

But I guess I gave it all to you babe
There's not room in no trailer for two babe

Well I guess I gave it all for you babe
All for you and your trailer too babe

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
