Her And The Car And The Mobile Home – Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
By
Well, my wife and I were happy in our trailer But she didn’t dig my running around all night Well, I warned you a couple times ’bout leaving Oh, but you just laughed and took it kinda light
Well, I shoulda paid attention to her warning When she told me she’d leave if I didn’t change ‘Cause when I come home about sun up this morning Well, I detected something mighty strange
Her and the car and the mobile home are gone, boys I was taking off while you was a-carrying on Now things are really shot, I came home to an empty lot Yeah, me and the car and the mobile home was gone Yes, her and the car and the mobile home was gone
Well, the neighbors all around me were a-laughing And it made me feel about ten inches tall I knew you didn’t think that I’d really leave you Uh, not to mention taking home and all
Well, talk about somebody bewildered I bet you didn’t know what to do nor where to go I found little consolation in my wardrobe That you left scattered on the patio
Her and the car and the mobile home are gone, boys I was taking off while you was a-carrying on Now things are really shot, I came home to an empty lot Yeah, me and the car and the mobile home was gone, gone Yes, her and the car and the mobile home was gone
Yeah, they was gone along with everything else Except a few old western suits she left scattered there on the patio And they had mud all over ’em where she stomped around on ’em Stepped on them wagon wheels, busted the spokes out You know that real nice lavender suit? One that she said I looked good in, looked like Tom Jones That’s it hanging over in that tree She took that piece of chalk and wrote across the front of the coat Have a good time, darling You know, when you’re hot, you’re hot
