LYRICS


[Verse 1]
She graduated high school, I bought her a trailer
In a little park by the side of the road
Man, I coulda had the Army, yea, I coulda had the Navy
But no, I had to go for a mobile home

[Chorus]
Yes, I gave it all to you, babe
All to you and that trailer, too, babe

[Verse 2]
I kept up my interest, I kept up my payments
She never said goodbye, I never asked why
Man, we used to dance to Lynyrd Skynyrd
Aw, she used to look so good at times

[Chorus]
Yes, I gave it all to you, babe
Wasn’t room in that trailer for two, babe

[Bridge]
I can’t find a thing, dear, that gives me an answer
That shines any light on the way things went
I get by on my own time, I ain’t cut out for workin’
I ain’t cut out for nothin’ that pays my rent

[Chorus]
I guess, I gave it all to you, babe
All to you, and that trailer, too, babe
