Story behind the song:

I never intended to record this song myself but I just like playing it. So shoot me. Maybe Taylor Swift will still do it. I could use a new house. I digress though. I was working at a day job at the time where we would have to make copies of people’s driver's licenses for credit checks. One customer had T-16 or something like that as the address on her license. I stupidly asked her what that meant and she said Trailer 16. She wasn't embarrassed though. I thought about how some people could be embarrassed saying they lived in a trailer park. I wouldn't be though. Trailers rule. I live in my Sprinter van half the time when I am in LA. I wrote the song around a girl who turned one trailer into another one.

Trivia: I wrote most of this song in a modular trailer structure at that day job that same night that I met the T-16 girl on this old cheap Yamaha guitar that was lying around. The strings were dead but it sounded nice.
