       G                                     D 
If the trailer's rockin' don't come knockin' on my door 
                                            G 
If you can read it's plain to see you ain't welcome here no more 
                                                                   D 
Ah your jackrabbit lovin' and your drinkin' and your snorin' don't work for me no more 
                                                     G 
So if the trailer's rockin' then don't come knockin' on my door 

  Am                      C 
I thought she would be so easy to control 
  G                                     D 
I never dreamed that she would leave me standin' in the cold 
        G                                               D 
Now the cold hard facts got me frozen in my tracks as I stand here at her door 
                                                       G 
Because the trailer's rockin' a whole lot more than it ever rocked before 
 
 
SOLO 
 
        G                                         D 
I was a couch potato I just kinda laid there when we made love each night 
                                                      G 
I was watching TV while she was working on me and now you know that ain't right 
                                                  D 
I didn't have a job and I snored like a hog and I drank beer all day long 
                                                     G 
Now the trailer's rockin' and somebody's shakin' the hell out of my home
