Trailer Fire Blues

(ohhh Tennessee)

My dog is dead

and my beer is gone

No weed to smoke to make it to

the dawn

Wallet is empty

and the gas is dry

Only my forty-five to watch me cry

Damn I miss my wife

she's my cousin too

My single wide's on fire

nothing

I can do

Momma warned me 'bout this family tree

Now my whole life is burning down on me

Oh Tennessee, what a mistake

We took that broken boat out on the lake

She couldn't swim, now she's gone below

And her daddy found us out,

oh what a show

I tried to hide the truth about my pride

But she caught me with her dad by her side

Her husband and her nephew

in a tight embrace

Only in Tennessee we find this place

(lord help me)

No boat, no wife,

no single wide

Just my forty-five right by my side

Oh Tennessee... (ohhh)
