Travel Trailer Song: Sally, the Girl Who Swayed (Official Music Video)
About the Travel Trailer Song (and Sally)
Finding the right RV is like finding the right woman. It is HARD. Before we were the "Class C" broads, we owned a travel trailer named Sally. Things did not go smoothly. And like any bad romance, it deserves to be documented in a little country song.
This song is dedicated to Sally the Travel Trailer.
Ride, Sally, Ride.

Lyrics to “The Travel Trailer Song: Sally, the Girl Who Swayed”
Verse 1:
I went looking for a girl
At Lake of the Ozarks
Small but pretty
Who liked beaches and parks.
She would need to be level
Headed, take directions
If she wanted to have
My devotion and affection.
I found her in a parking lot
Love at first sight.
I thought maybe I could
Take her home that night
At the dinette I asked
To sleep in her bed.
She said yes
So off we sped.
She was my first
Sally was her name.
And I’ll always remember
That ball and chain.
Verse 2:
She loved the dogs.
Knew her way round the kitchen.
She seemed so perfect.
What was I missing?
She really liked
A Sunday drive.
But if she got too loaded
She would juke and jive.
She would shake her head
From left to right,
And make scary noises
That gave me a fright.
I drove her crazy.
Or did she drive me?
Maybe it was just not
Meant to be.
She was my first
Sally was her name.
And I’ll always remember
That ball and chain.
Verse 3:
I said: “Let’s get hitched!”
She said: “Not so fast.”
I knew right then
That it wouldn’t last.
I wanted to go faster.
She said “no, no, no.”
I thought to myself:
“I towed you so.”
It was time to stop,
Time to break away.
I just could handle
A girl who swayed.
Now, she’s bunking with a couple
Someplace far away.
I didn’t even know
She swung that way.
I wish her the best
Life on the road.
Ride, Sally, Ride.
You’re a helluva tow.
