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 o' times of 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
PORTER: Her and the car and the mobile home are gone, boys
DOLLY: I was takin' off while you was a-carryin' on
PORTER: Now things are really shot, I came home to an empty lot
DOLLY: Yeah, me and the car and the mobile home's gone
PORTER: Yes, her and the car and the mobile home was gone
DOLLY: Umm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Well the neighbours all around me were a-laughin'
And it made me feel about ten inches tall
Ha-ha, I knew you didn't think that I'd really leave you
Uh, not to mention takin' home and all
Why, talk about somebody bewildered
I bet you didn't know what to do, nor where to go
I found little consolation in my wardrobe
That you left scattered on the patio
PORTER: Her and the car and the mobile home are gone, boys
DOLLY: I was takin' off while you was a-carryin' on
PORTER: Now things are really shot, I came home to an empty lot
DOLLY: Yeah, me and the car and the mobile home's gone, gone
PORTER: Yes, her and the car and the mobile home was gone
DOLLY: Umm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
PORTER (Spoken): 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. Footstepped on them wagon wheels, busted the
Spokes out. You know that real nice lavender suit, the one
That she said I looked good in, 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"
