Noirsville Bonus Neo Noir American Trailer Trash (Part 10)

Just in case any of you have been worried about the gentrification of the bad ol' inner city neighborhoods and their once infinite ability to be the wellsprings of gritty hardboiled stories and characters, fear no more. Hell's Kitchen, The Lower East Side, Harlem, Bunker Hill, South Central, Watts, the South side of Chicago, The Tenderloin, Skid Row have always been tag teamed by thousands of wrong side of the tracks trailer courts, RV and mobile home parks and their denizens ready to take up the slack.


So here for our entertainment is a new regular bonus feature, American Trailer Trash, So crack yourself open a beer sit back in your lazy-boy and chill.


Eeehaaaahh! We'll have fun with this one.


Double Wide Blues


I got the blues

Doublewide

V-neck t-shirt, with a mustard stain

Holding up a hose outside in the rain

He's been my neighbor since '79

'Course he was in prison most of that time

Ever since then he just ain't been right

His old lady works days and they fight most nights

Laid off and blown off, pissed off on booze

Doublewide blues

Metallica song blastin' out from two trailers down

It's them cut of t-shirt numchuck kids comin' around

Tonight they'll get drunk, try to get laid

End up in a fight out behind the arcade

You know one of them little shits broke my window last spring

I told his momma, she didn’t do anything

She works two jobs, he runs loose

Doublewide blues

Doublewide blues

I got the blues

Doublewide

My buddy Jimmy, now his trailer's cool

He got him a deck with one of them blue plastic pools

Workin' construction, he builds speck homes

His old lady left him, now he's down there alone

My friend Anita, she loves him, but he don't know

He's so busy chasin' my neighbor’s wife, Flo

Soap opera heaven without all the clues

Doublewide blues

Doublewide blues

I got the blues

Doublewide

Wild Bill the manager, he keeps to himself

The war took his smile like them pills took his health

Too old to run with the Klan anymore

U.S. flag hanging up outside of his door

I sit here watchin' all this nothing go on

I don’t get out much since momma's been gone

Sometimes it's nice having nothing to lose

Doublewide blues

Doublewide blues

I got the blues

Doublewide

Take me home boys

I think I’m drunk


She's ready to hit the town

My Name is Earl

New American Gothic


Family Portrait

Posing

Going in style

Another poser

Back to Nature

Hey, it's cheaper than a tanning bed

A handyman's dream

She needs a handyman
