Trailer for Rent
Pistol Annies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I put my jeans on
And drove down to the Jonesville News and Times
I said to the man I need to place an ad
How much will it be for the four lines?
'Cause my husband's pissed me off for the last time
Trailer for rent, no down payment
Where I got tired of his shit
Call if your interested, trailer for rent
It's been ten years, ten thousand beers
And he's still sittin' right there on the couch
I played the misses and I've done the dishes
'Bout time somebody got the hell out
My phone ought to be ringing about now
'Cause there's a trailer for rent,
No down payment
Comes with some holes
And dents where I got tired of his shit
Call if your interested, trailer for rent
There's a trailer for rent (trailer for rent),
No down payment (no down payment)
Comes with some holes and dents
Where I got tired of his shit
You better call if your interested, trailer for rent
Trailer for rent (trailer for rent)
Trailer for rent
The lyrics of "Trailer for Rent" by Pistol Annies tell the story of a woman who has had enough of her husband's behavior and decides to leave him. She goes to the local newspaper to place an ad for a trailer for rent. The first verse sets the scene and establishes the motivation for the woman's actions. She has had enough of her husband's behavior, and she wants out.
The second verse uses humor to explain the situation. The couple has been married for ten years, and the husband has consumed ten thousand beers. He is still sitting on the couch, and the woman has played the role of the perfect wife, doing his dishes and attending to his needs. The chorus repeats the message of the ad, Trailer for Rent, and adds the line, "no down payment," which implies that the woman is eager to leave her husband behind, and she does not require any money upfront.
The overall tone of the song is one of empowerment. The woman has taken control of her situation and does not apologize for it. The lyrics are relatable to a wide range of listeners, as many people have experienced difficult relationships and have had to make challenging decisions.
