Well I met her out at Murphy's restaurant She said she was fresh from the farm I remember thinkin' for a country girl She went pretty well armed We sat there talkin' by the lobster tank I ordered her a sloe gin fizz And when them chicken fried steaks arrived She said "I like livin' like this". So I made her? The queen of my double wide trailer With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck Sometimes she runs off and I've gotta trail her Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck A few nights later I run into her With some stranger on a park bench She said 'he rebuilds engines and his name is earl He's the Charlie Daniels of the torque-wrench" I whispered 'Honey let's just go on home Have some onion rings and watch TV" As I walked her to the truck Earl was crying "Don't you leave me" I told him, this here's?.. The queen of my double wide trailer With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck Now she's run off and I've gotta trail her Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck Now bless her little soul, she's not to blame That's just the way her mind is If there's a way to stir trouble up The girl was born to find She's the queen She's the queen The queen of my double wide trailer With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck Sometimes she runs off and I've gotta trail her Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck
