Sammy Kershaw<\/a>‘s “Queen of My Double-Wide Trailer” has always had a sense of humor about love, but there’s a surprisingly sweet idea tucked inside its outrageous story.<\/p>\n It’s about loving someone who’s a little wild, a little unpredictable, and never exactly where you expect her to be.<\/p>\n The guy in the song doesn’t have much in the way of luxury, but he’s proud of what he can offer.<\/p>\n His double-wide trailer, polyester curtains and redwood deck might not look like much to someone else, but to him, it’s home \u2014 and she’s his queen<\/a>.<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Remember When Country Music Ruled the \u201990s? These 5 Guys Were a Big Reason Why<\/a><\/p>\n Even when she wanders off with another man, he doesn’t seem all that surprised. He just wants her to come home, have some onion rings, and watch TV. And that simple invitation gets at the heart of what makes the song so endearing.<\/p>\n There’s no pretending this relationship is perfect<\/a>. She’s restless, she’s trouble, and he knows it. But he isn’t trying to change her or impress her with some grand gesture.<\/p>\n He’s happy with the life they have, and he’s willing to keep welcoming her back into it.<\/p>\n That’s the sweet spot<\/a> beneath all the comedy. The song pokes fun at big romantic gestures and fancy ideas of what love should look like.<\/p>\n Sometimes devotion is simply being proud of what you have, loving someone as they are and knowing there’s always a place for them at home.<\/p>\n Well I met her out at Murphy’s restaurant<\/em> So I made her the queen of my double-wide trailer<\/em> Well, a few nights later I run into her<\/em> I told him, this is the queen of my double wide trailer<\/em> I said, this is the queen of my double wide trailer<\/em> I said, this is the queen of my double-wide trailer<\/em> Oh, she’s a queen<\/em> Love hurts sometimes, and nothing can express that pain better than a great country lyric.

Sammy Kershaw’s ‘Queen of My Double-Wide Trailer’ Lyrics<\/span>:<\/h3>\n
She said she was fresh from the farm<\/em>
I remember thinkin’ for a country girl<\/em>
That she went pretty well armed<\/em>
We sat there talkin’ by the lobster tank<\/em>
I ordered her a sloe gin fizz<\/em>
And when them chicken fried steaks arrived<\/em>
She said, ‘I like living’ like this’<\/em><\/p>\n
With the polyester curtains and the red wood deck<\/em>
Now she’s run off and I’ve got to trail her<\/em>
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck<\/em><\/p>\n
With some stranger on a park bench<\/em>
She said, ‘He rebuilds engines and his name is Earl<\/em>
He’s the Charlie Daniels of the torque-wrench’<\/em>
I whispered, ‘Honey, let’s just go on home<\/em>
Have some onion rings and watch TV’<\/em>
As I walked her to the truck<\/em>
Earl was crying, ‘Don’t you leave me’<\/em><\/p>\n
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck<\/em>
Sometimes she runs and I’ve gotta trail her<\/em>
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck<\/em><\/p>\n
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck<\/em>
Sometimes she runs and I’ve gotta trail her<\/em>
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck<\/em><\/p>\n
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck<\/em>
Sometimes she runs and I’ve gotta trail her<\/em>
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck<\/em><\/p>\n
She’s a queen<\/em><\/p>\nThe 28 Saddest Love Songs in Country Music, Ever<\/h2>\n
