Lyrics:

Old Trailer

I’ve got an old trailer I haul around
Full of thing I’ve picked up but couldn’t put down
It’s a heavy load for a narrow road
But I just keep moving that’s how I roll

Then one day the axle broke
I almost got in a wreck, it ain’t no joke
I had to pull over and take a break
I had to lighten the load, make no mistake

It’s an old trailer full of pieces of my heart
But I had to let it go to make a fresh new start
It’s an old trailer but I needed some space
You can’t move ahead if you’re stuck in one place

So I opened the door started moving it out
The things I’d collected, without a doubt
Meaning and memory, it pains me to say
Are just attached to the passing day

But it does you some good to let it go
At first it was hard, I had to take it slow
Then it got easy, like a boat named breezy
I just walked into the flow, brother, I let it go

It’s an old trailer full of pieces of my heart
I let it all go to make a fresh new start
It’s an old trailer that I disengaged
Now I’m moving ahead toward a brand new age

It was an old trailer, got to let it go
Walk into the flow and let it go

  Michael -- I have an audio version but haven't shot a vid to upload. i'll send you the low-grade audio version if you'd like. It's a pretty standard bluesy number, no surprises. Though I like some of the lyrics/theme.
