Lyrics
I graduated high school
I completed high school.
I bought her a trailer
I purchased a trailer.
In a little park by the side of the road
The trailer is situated in a small park alongside the road.
I coulda had the Army, I coulda had the Navy
I had options like joining the Army or Navy, but I chose to have a mobile home (trailer).
But no, I had to go for a mobile home
Expressing a regretful tone about choosing a mobile home instead of a military career.
Yes, I gave it all to you, babe
Emphasizing the sacrifice made for the relationship and the trailer.
All to you and that trailer, too, babe
Reiterating the dedication to the partner and the trailer.
I kept up my interest, I kept up my payments
I maintained my commitment and financial responsibilities.
She never said goodbye, I never asked why
Reflecting on a breakup where there was no clear explanation.
Man, we used to dance to Lynyrd Skynyrd
Recalling moments of joy, possibly during the relationship, involving dancing to Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Aw, she used to look so good at times
Nostalgically describing the ex-partner looking good in the past.
Yes, I gave it all to you, babe
Repeating the theme of sacrificing everything for the partner, though the trailer was not spacious.
Wasn't room in that trailer for two, babe
Highlighting the limited space in the trailer and suggesting it might have contributed to the breakup.
I can't find a band-aid that
Expressing difficulty in finding a solution or understanding to the relationship issues.
Gives me an answer
Seeking answers like a band-aid but not finding a solution.
That shines any light on the way things went
Struggling to comprehend the reasons behind the relationship's course.
I get by on my own time
Emphasizing self-reliance and moving forward at one's own pace.
I ain't cut out for workin'
Expressing a lack of inclination or suitability for traditional work.
I ain't cut out for nothin', it pays my rent
Stating a general disinterest, with work being a means to pay rent.
I guess, I gave it all to you, babe
Reiterating the theme of giving everything for the relationship and the trailer.
All to you, and that trailer, too, babe oh
Repeating the sacrifice made for the partner and the trailer.
