Trailer Hitch Lyrics

I wanna buy you a drink
Maybe one for this whole town
I may not have that much
But I don’t mind spreading it around
Everybody chasing something
I don’t know why they’re running
I take my time to the finish line
‘Cause we all end up with nothing

I don’t know why, know why
Everybody wanna die rich
Diamonds, champagne,
Work your way down that list.
We try, everybody tries
Tries to fit into that ditch
You can’t take it with you when you go
Never seen a hearse with a Trailer Hitch
Never seen a hearse with a trailer hitch

Started my day
Giving away
All of my baseball cards
It felt so good by the afternoon
I gave some guy my car
It ain’t about what you’re driving
Or about the gold you’re piling
The less I have to worry about
The more time I got for smiling

I don’t know why, know why
Everybody wanna die rich
Champagne, new plane
Work your way down that list.
We try, everybody tries
Tries to fit into that ditch
You can’t take it with you when you go
Never seen a hearse with a trailer hitch
Never seen a hearse with a trailer hitch

Hey, hey

You can stack it up
Pack it up
Tie it with a big, red bow
Get a great, big truck
Back it all up
But you can’t take it with you when you go
Can’t take it when you go

I don’t know why, know why
Everybody wanna die rich
Diamonds, champagne, newest of the new planes
Work your way down that list.
We try, everybody tries
Tries to fit into that ditch
You can’t take it with you when you go
Never seen a hearse with a trailer hitch
Never seen a hearse with a trailer hitch

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Give it away,
Hey, hey
Give it away

Trailer Hitch Song Chart

The idea for the song came to Kristian Bush after a writer friend of his walked out the door and said, "I've never seen a hearse with a trailer hitch."

"As we went through it, it was very easy to walk into the shoes of, 'Let's write a song that's fun that has a message that also matters. Let's just not bang over anybody's head with it.' We probably have one too many things in our life. All of us. We can probably give at least one of them back or away," Bush told Radio.com . "You can't take it with you when you go. It is a question and it isn't an answer of a song. It's just a question, why do we all want to die rich? Isn't there something we can do with that?"

The lead single of Southern Gravity, its inclusion on the album was an accident. Bush explained to Artist Direct : "I had written the song, finished the session, had written four songs, people were in their chairs. I asked to do one more before eating dinner. I had a little ditty that was supposed to be fun. I played it, charted it out and they began playing it. This thing happened. It makes you want to dance."

"It reminded me, again, of how much magic is in each set of songs. You just don't know until you bring them to life… what they can be. That sounds like a single and wasn't even supposed to be on the record."
