Backstory:

I watched the film "Mr. Majestic" with Charles Bronson and thought how hard a life it must be, to live in a trailer and work as hard as that with no hope of ever getting out of the rut. I was tempted to make the song have a happy ending but real life isn't like that, so I left it open to the listeners imagination, when I wrote "I know she's thinkin' about leavin'." Will she or won't she?

Lyrics:

                                                  
V.1.

I KNOW THIS TRAILER AIN’T THE MANSION THAT SHE DREAMED OF
AND I KNOW SHE’S TIRED OF WAITING 
FOR ME TO MAKE HER DREAMS COME TRUE
BUT MAKING PROMISES AND PLANS 
CAME EASY TO A YOUNGER MAN
IF SHE’D KNOWN THE FUTURE THEN WOULD SHE STILL HAVE SAID I DO

CHORUS

NOW SHE FEELS TRAPPED INSIDE A LITTLE GOLDEN BAND
THE ONE I PLACED SO GENTLY ON HER HAND
IF WE HADN’T MADE THOSE VOWS
WHERE WOULD SHE BE NOW
IS IT TOO LATE TO TURN HER LIFE AROUND

V.2.

I ALWAYS HOPED I’D MAKE A BETTER LIFE THAN DADDY
GET AN EDUCATION 
LEAVE THIS TOWN BEHIND
BUT BY MY 31ST BIRTHDAY
THE ONLY JOBS THAT CAME MY WAY 
WERE THE LOW PAID FRUIT PICKING BACK BREAKING KIND

REPEAT CHORUS

V.3.

NOW I KNOW THAT SHE’S THINKING ABOUT LEAVING
MAYBE IT’S NOT TOO LATE 
TO FIND HER DREAM IF SHE MOVES ON
WITH NO KIDS TO TIE HER DOWN 
JUST MOVE TO ANOTHER TOWN
I WOULDN’T TRY TO HOLD HER HERE
IF THE LOVE IS GONE

REPEAT CHORUS
