99 Single Wide

Billy Jack Tovar

Billy Jack Tovar hammered and he crowbarred

Off the made to look like a stone foundation

And that linoleum deck

He yanked out the roses hiding that gooseneck

Woke up the whole damn trailer-hood

Revving that girl and his wrecker up good

"You and him can go to hell"

Was the last thing we heard him yell

We've seen it before and we'll see it again

Putting "home sweet home" in a straight line when

Boarded up windows, taped down seams

Trail of dust taking up two lanes

That's how it goes whеn catching your girl

With your fourth-best friend in the wholе damn world collides with pride

And one payment left on a 99 single wide

Billy Jack Tovar only got so far

Broke down in the neighbor's yard

Up yonder, about a mile or so

Out came Lucinda in her best bathrobe

Beer and her smile's what reeled him in

Meanwhile his ex and Mechanic Jim

Got his truck cranked up and headed on back

We knew it was coming, just not that fast

We've seen it before and we'll see it again

Putting home sweet home in a straight line when

Boarded up windows, taped down seams

Trail of dust taking up two lanes

That's how it goes when catching your man

Gettin' through the night in your best friend's hands collides with pride

And one payment left on a 99 single wide

Billy Jack Tovar hammered and he crowbarred

Right back on the looks like stone foundation

And that linoleum deck

Gonna take another shot at forgive and forget

Well, that's how it goes, we've seen it before

When the thought of the cost of gettin' divorced collides with pride

And one payment left on a 99 single wide

Oh, 99 single wide, yeah
