Paul Thorn’s Burn Down the Trailer Park
I borrowed some money, I sold my car
I set an airstream trailor up on blocks.
That satellite dish was my first mistake,
She started watchin’ Oprah Winifrey and Rikki Lake.
She cut me down to once a week,
At supper time there wasn’t nothing to eat.
I was paranoid and scared to death,
She came home with Aqua Velva on her breath.
Chorus: Burn down the trailer park
Shoot the pink flamingoes out in the yard.
I can’t live here since you broke my heart,
I’m gonna burn down the trailer park.
She hired the neigbor’s son to cut our grass,
She gave him cold iced tea and a piece of pie.
My landlord came while I was out of town,
Our pipes got fixed and the rent went down.
I fell asleep with the Late Show on,
Now it’s 3 a. m., I wake up and she’s gone.
I’ve got a strong suspicion she’s at it again,
But since I don’t know which trailer she’s in...
Chorus: Burn down the trailer park,
Shoot the pink flamingoes out in the yard.
I can’t live here since you broke my heart,
I’m gonna burn down the trailer park.
Burn it down.
Jenny Jones don’t understand,
Geraldo don’t understand,
Maury Povich sure don’t understand
I got a can of gas and I’m a dangerous man.
Chorus: I’m gonna burn down the trailer park,
Shoot the pink flamingoes out in the yard.
I can’t live here since you broke my heart,
I’m gonna burn down the trailer park.
Burn down the trailer park.
Shoot the pink flamingoes out in the yard.
I can’t live here since you broke my heart,
I’m gonna burn down the trailer park.
Burn down the trailer park.
Burn it down.
This makes me as sad as listening to train horns in the rain at night with my one eyed dog after the divorce for drinking too much at the honky tonk where I played the blues on an old busted guitar I got from my pappy before he was hanged.
