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
