It all started back when I turned eighteen
My ma, my wife, our six kids and me
Moved into a nice, used doublewide
It was blue and white, bout a hundred feet long,
With tires on the roof, flamingos on the lawn,
And genuine simulated wood paneling on the inside
Now when you move into a trailer park
You hear odd things when it gets dark
Hollering, screaming and cursing ain't nothing weird
But one night I heard a really strange noise
So I crept down the hall to check on the boys
And what I seen done scared me something fierce
There on the naugahyde couch he sat
A shadowy figure in a Mack truck hat
It was a ghost and he was drinking all my beer!
He weren't wearing no sheet, just a pair of jeans
An old wifebeater with greasy stains
I screamed like a girl and he just disappeared
There's a ghost in the trailer, we got a haunted mobile home
And that redneck apparition will not leave us alone.
He's got a chain on his wallet, and he's rattlin' it loud
There's a ghost in the trailer, look out!
Well I tore in the bedroom and slammed the door shut
Then pretty soon the sun came up
I told my wife what happened but she just shook her head
And to tell the truth I'd had a drink or three
And the stress at the job been getting to me
But just to be safe I put a gun rack over the bed
A neighbor stopped by later that day
He said the previous tenant had passed away.
He was killed working on a Camaro in the front yard
The hood fell and gave his head a smack
He died but they say he still comes back
And when the moon is full he tries to start that car
Well, that same night about quarter to ten,
We was watching Dukes of Hazzard on TNN
And we heard a blood-curdling scream coming from on the lawn
We ran out onto the trailer lot
And that Camaro was levitating right off the blocks
With that ghost in the driver's seat yelling , "Yee-haw!"
There's a ghost in the trailer, we got a haunted mobile home!
And that redneck apparition will not leave us alone.
He got Skynyrd on the radio, and he cranked it up real loud
There's a ghost in the trailer, look out!
Things got bad and soon got worse
We were stuck with this paranormal curse
He would wake us up at night yelling, "Boo, ya'll!"
He moved things around to cause a scare
Made a tin of Skoal float through the air
We could hear footsteps line-dancing down the hall
Well, I called the cops and they just laughed
Then a friend from work found an online chat
Told us 'bout a site called trailerghost.com
There were stories and tips, all kinds of advice
I'm telling you, that website saved our lives
We sent that ghost back into the great beyond
So listen to me, don't make no mistake
If you feel your trailer start to shake
Run to the window and take a look outside
And if there's no tornado to be found
And you start to hear a strange moaning sound
You might have a ghost up in your doublewide!
There's a ghost in your trailer, you got a haunted mobile home
And that redneck apparition will not leave you alone
If the walls commence to movin', and blood starts dripping out
You got a ghost in the trailer, look out!
