Well my wife and I were happy in our trailer

But she didn't dig my runnin' around all night

Well I warned you a couple of times about leavin'

Oh but you just laughed and took it kinda light

Well I should've paid attention to her warnin'

When she told me she'd leave if I didn't change

Cause when I come home about sunup this mornin'

Well I detected somethin' mighty strange

Her and the car and the mobile home are gone boys

I was takin' off while you was a carryin' on

Now things are really shot I came home to an empty lot

Yeah me and the car and the mobile home was gone

Yeas her and the car and the mobile home was gone

Well the neighbors all around me were a laughin'

And it made me feel about ten inches tall

Ha I knew you didn't think that I'd really leave you

Ah not to mention takin' home and all

Well talk about somebody be-wildered

I bet you didn't know what to do nor where to go

I found a little consolation in my wardrobe that you left scattered on the patio

Her and the car and the mobile home...

(Yeah they was gone with everything else

Except a few old western suits she'd left scattered there on the patio

And they had mud on 'em where she'd stomped around on 'em

Stepped on them Wagon wheels busted the spokes out

You know that real nice lavander suit one that she said I looked good in

Said I looked like Tom Jones that's it hangin' over in that tree

She took that piece of chalk wrote across the front of the coat

have a good time darling you know when you're hot you're hot)
