Lyrics
DON?T BOTHER KNOCKIN? Copyright 2006
Me and my baby gotta little ole farm
Live in a travel trailer underneath the barn
We got chickens and pigs for sale all the time
Measure our wealth in nickels and dimes
We like to have folks over most every night
They bring their beer, guitars, and occasional fights
They can do most anything they wanna do
But everybody knows I got just one rule
Which is
If the trailer?s rockin?, don?t bother knockin?
Some folks say I?ve stumbled onto hard times
It ain?t that way I know I?ve got a gold mine
She wears those ragged jeans and those muddy ole boots
I ain?t never seen that woman in a pair of shoes
Such a sweet disposition, she ain?t never sad
But there is one thing that?ll make her mad
?Cause she loves her lovin? like she loves her work
And when she starts she?s hard to stop
So if the trailer?s rockin? don?t bother knockin?
She?s a big old diamond in a field of stone
Done more than her a part to make this trailer a home
She?s up every morning ?fore the sun can rise
And she greets me with my coffee and a big old smile
And when the work is over and the sun goes down
Me and my lady gonna go to town
But we ain?t leavin? this trailer cause we ain?t got a truck
I?ll just make sure that the sign?s still up
That says
If the trailer?s rockin?, don?t bother knockin
My buddies say I?ve stumbled onto hard times
But it ain?t that way, I know I?ve got a gold mine
She ties her long hair back in that baseball cap
Keeps the dogs quiet when I take my nap
Got the prettiest eyes you?d ever wanna see
And I don?t care that she?s smarter than me
?Cause she loves her lovin? like she loves her work
And when she starts she?s hard to stop
So if the trailer?s rockin? don?t bother knockin?
Son, if that trailer?s rockin?, don?t bother knockin?
If the trailer?s rockin?, don?t bother knockin?
Aw, baby, this trailer?s rockin?, don?t y?all bother knockin? Don?t you do it
