[Verse 1]
I graduated high school, I bought her a trailer
In a little park by the side of the road
I coulda had the Army, I coulda had the Navy
But no, I had to go for a mobile home

[Chorus]
Yes, I gave it all to you, babe
All to you and that trailer, too, babe

[Verse 2]
I kept up my interest, I kept up my payments
She never said goodbye, I never asked why
Man, we used to dance to Lynyrd Skynyrd
Aw, she used to look so good at times

[Chorus]
Yes, I gave it all to you, babe
Wasn't room in that trailer for two, babe

[Bridge]
I can't find a band-aid that gives me an answer
That shines any light on the way things went
I get by on my own time, I ain't cut out for workin'
I ain't cut out for nothin', it pays my rent

[Chorus]
I guess, I gave it all to you, babe
All to you, and that trailer, too, babe
Oh

This Gainesville Florida band used to be called The Epics. Then someone in the band suggested the new name Mudcrutch. Tom says it wasn’t him; band mates say it was. It fell apart after moving to California. From its ashes Tom Petty built The Heartbreakers. Later in life, though, Tom got the band back together and they recorded two albums. Some of Tom’s best songs (“Hungry No More”, “I Forgive It All”, “Crystal River”) are on these records.
