Daddy came down from Omaha picked out a spot
Bought him a trailer parked there on the lot
And I was born in the back bedroom
Wheels under my feet tin over the roof
And the walls would whistle when the North wind blew
I was born and raised with the trailer park blues
Will I grew up and left the old tin nest
Daddy bought him a house the week after I left
I started a band I ran out of room
But I ran out of money and had to move
In with the drummer and the boys with the crew
We were rockin’ and rollin’ with the trailer park blues
Yeah the trailer park blues
I’m a trailer park man
Rosen’ rosa and the hole tin cans
The world is flat it leans to one side
Its 50 foot long and 10 foot wide
I met a little girl we lived in sin
My new address was space number 10
I made her a honest woman took her as my bride
And we moved into a new double wide
Shes makin’ the payments I’m paying my dues
Workin’ out on the road with the trailer park blues
O the trailer park blues the aluminum light
With my trailer park dog and my trailer park wife
The world is flat it leans to one side
Its 50 foot long and 10 foot wide
I made me a record had a couple of hits
We filled this box with a bunch of kids
She still waitress’s some I pick and grin
And we still live in the old house of tin
But we own the whole park and a condo or two
Were happy as larks with the trailer park blues…

In 480 BC, Xerxes, king of Persia, led a force of 100,000 Persians across the Dardanelles over a bridge of boats. The Persians marched through Thrace and Macedonia and into Thessaly. The Greeks took up strong defensive positions at Thermopylae Pass, guarding the entrance to Boeotia and Attica.
Xerxes reached Thermopylae and found the Greeks could not be budged. Eventually after three days of fighting, a Greek traitor showed the Persians a flanking route through another pass. To give the main army of 5,000 Greek hoplites time to withdraw, King Leonidas I of Sparta remained at the pass with 300 of his bodyguards and small contingent of Thespians to fight a rear-guard action against overwhelming odds. All of the Spartans and Thespians died in the battle, but they delayed the Persians long enough to allow the Greek force to escape and reform at the Isthmus of Corinth.
Them Spartans were tough.
