HER AND THE CAR AND THE MOBILE HOME Duet by Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner Writers Dave Kirby, Don Stock Copyright 1972 Well my wife and I were happy in our trailer But she didn't dig my runnin' around all night Well I warned you a couple of times about leavin' Oh but you just laughed and took it kinda light Well I should've paid attention to her warnin' When she told me she'd leave if I didn't change Cause when I come home about sunup this mornin' Well I detected somethin' mighty strange Her and the car and the mobile home are gone boys I was takin' off while you was a carryin' on Now things are really shot I came home to an empty lot Yeah me and the car and the mobile home was gone Yeas her and the car and the mobile home was gone Well the neighbors all around me were a laughin' And it made me feel about ten inches tall Ha I knew you didn't think that I'd really leave you Ah not to mention takin' home and all Well talk about somebody be-wildered I bet you didn't know what to do nor where to go I found a little consolation in my wardrobe that you left scattered on the patio Her and the car and the mobile home... (Yeah they was gone with everything else Except a few old western suits she'd left scattered there on the patio And they had mud on 'em where she'd stomped around on 'em Stepped on them Wagon wheels busted the spokes out You know that real nice lavander suit one that she said I looked good in Said I looked like Tom Jones that's it hangin' over in that tree She took that piece of chalk wrote across the front of the coat have a good time darling you know when you're hot you're hot)
