Eaton named the trailer “Vagabond.”
What? No personalized license plate? Or is this a personalized license plate? If so, what is the significance of “CD 2617″.

You’re guilty of crime in the first degree,
Second and third as well.
My jury finds you’ll be serving your time
When you go straight to hell.
‘Cause he was Lord of the Lightning,
Though “socially fright’ning”,
But never out to sell.
Their nickels and pence
Meant more than did sense,
And not the sensible thing.
Nor did the man outta time, man outta time.

In the corner of dark bar room
Sat an ole’ cowboy singin’ western tunes
Singin’ songs he learned as a child
All about the West back when it was wild
He said he came from down Texas way
The cowboys were tough
The women the same way
Said he was a star back in ‘31
Hollywood had liked him for some songs that [...]

the maid of the long ago,
why, light your pipe, bid sorrow avaunt,
blow the smoke from your altar of dreams,
and [...]

This photo also reveals a second secret lot, just below and to the right of the first.

When most people think of Porter Waggoner (if they ever do), they think of the Nudie suits, the TV show and the discovery of Dolly Parton.
But Porter wrote some weird and dark stuff.

Skid Row Joe last night that’s who I found in the dirty part of town
Lost forgotten with no place [...]

The Cold Hard Facts of Life
I got back in town a day before I’d planned to
I smiled and said I’ll sure surprise my wife
I don’t think I’ll phone I’ll just head on home
For I didn’t know the cold hard facts of life
I passed a little winestore on the corner I pictured big champagne by candle [...]
