Carpetbaggers |
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 |
