Love Broke Out At The Trailer Park

(Verse)
In an aging trailer park on the south side of town
she lived alone with a lava lamp and a kitten she named "Clown."
Every mornin' she was up and off to school, workin' every night,
waiting on tables and wiping 'em clean, and dreaming of a better life.

She was the prettiest girl in Georgia, the sweetest thing I ever knew.
When she held me tight it felt so right, like Dixie covered in dew.
We were just nineteen and thought we knew it all—it was almost true.
Everything we've learned since then I wish we never knew.

(Chorus)
Now we're a whole lot of years and counting with her little hand in mine.
We've seen a lot of mornings since 1969.
We've been east and we've been west,
done a lot of that up and down.
Since love broke out at that trailer park on the south side of town.

(Verse)
There's a lot of life in the rear view mirror and a lot of life ahead
We'll just take turns driving 'til one morning we wake up dead.
Then we'll fire that bus up one more time and pull out on the road,
and head off into the sunset toward out heavenly abode.

(Repeat Chorus)
