| They come to town when the war is over
|
| Dirty boots in the middle of the night
|
| Trolling the bars, hitting on the soldiers
|
| Boys give it up without a fight
|
| They say, «Hey, boy, how about your place?
|
| I know you really want to take me home»
|
| Drop the bags off on the bedroom floor
|
| They make love with the lights on, saying
|
| I’m a carpetbagger, baby
|
| I’m coming to your town
|
| I’m going to treat you kind
|
| I’m going to rob you blind
|
| I’ll smile all the time
|
| Whoa yeah, whoa yeah, whoa yeah, whoa yeah
|
| Sally could have had any one of the boys
|
| But she couldn’t love no one she could not control
|
| Friend of mine and her got married
|
| I don’t hear too much from him anymore
|
| Last I heard, he had a rope 'round his neck
|
| Dragging around the grocery store
|
| Carrying her bags and pushing down the aisles
|
| Saying, «I ain’t got no home in this world anymore»
|
| I’m a carpetbagger, baby
|
| I’m coming to your town
|
| I’m going to treat you kind
|
| I’m going to rob you blind
|
| I’ll smile all the time
|
| Whoa yeah, whoa yeah, whoa yeah, whoa yeah
|
| They come to town when the party’s over
|
| Books been written and truths been tried
|
| They’ll take it all if the door’s left open
|
| Steal the nose right from under your eyes
|
| I’m a carpetbagger, baby
|
| I’m coming to your town
|
| I’m going to treat you kind
|
| I’m going to rob you blind
|
| I’ll smile all the time
|
| Whoa yeah, whoa yeah, whoa yeah, whoa yeah |
