TRAILER STAR - SUIT OF NETTLES
Car nobody loved
It's covered in nettles, it's full of weeds
Been there since 1963
A farmer towed it out here behind a truck
Dumped it here in the weeds and mud
It's the car nobody loves
He'd been to the bank and bought a new car
That shone as bright as a tinsel star
So he stripped down the engine, threw away the key
Left it here to rust on the edge of a stream
Now the seats are a nest for the birds
The engine's a home for beetles and
worms
But you can still see by the dash and the chrome
That this old car was once
proudly owned
So that is why on every Christmas Eve
You'll see that old farmer out here holding a beer
As he remembers the day he met his first wife
As that old car stalled under the Christmas lights
The car nobody loves...
