Tytuł: Desperate times
- Wykonawca: Charlie Robison
- Wy¶wietleń: 256
He finished up and spent the most of next year
bummin' roound
He couldn't find a job to hold, so on a Friday night
He figured he could see the world and buy a new four
wheel drive
If he joined the army
Cause these are desperate times
He came back four years later a little higher
off the ground
Things there hadn't changed and that just really got
him down
So he went off to San Antone, an hour to the east
And got a job working for the San Antone Police
He had a pistol now
Cause these are desperate times
Ol' Jackie he got married but his ends just
wouldn't meet
His wife worked at the Texas Commerce Bank
just up the street
Jack he got an idea to get him out of debt
And they could live the good life and drive
a new Corvette
If he robbed the bank he said
Cause these are desperate times
He had planned the whole thing and while
his baby worked
He came in after hours in a black ski mask and shirt
She'd told him where the money was and that's just
where he went
The minute that he saw it, he already had it spent
Well it wasn't easy
But these are desperate times
He drove off to Bandera, cause that was his home town
He had it in his mind just where he'd lay
that money down
He went out to his mom's house, and Jack
went up the hill
To bury that old suitcase full of hundred dollar bills
He'd let it sit for awhile
Cause these are desperate times
The bank they called the G-men cause they were
insured by the feds
Jill she rolled on Jack cause she was in above her head
The G-men gave Jack wind of this when they
made his arrest
And he asked her why she'd turned on the one
that she loved best
Well it wasn't easy Jack
But these are desperate times
Ain't that what you always said?
These are desperate times
