| Well, she gets real mean when she’s drunk
|
| And she finally fell asleep and I’m glad
|
| She said, «The only way you got as far as you did
|
| Was 'cause of me, your songs suck»
|
| And I’m stuck in this American town
|
| And the streets are full of snow
|
| And the shops are closed down
|
| And the only friend I had here moved away
|
| Went back to Dallas, ran out of money
|
| So now, the bills have all been paid
|
| And the money’s all been saved
|
| You’re still as sad as you ever were
|
| Selling out to the man you trust
|
| The next morning just after dawn
|
| On the side of my bed with just a towel on
|
| She said, «I'm sorry, I didn’t mean it»
|
| You never do, let’s finish what we were working on
|
| So now, the bills have all been paid
|
| And the money’s all been saved
|
| We’re just as bad as we ever were
|
| Selling out to the bank and trust
|
| Yeah, the bank and trust
|
| (Oh, walk on…)
|
| And I met this girl from Montgomery
|
| A twenty-six year-old with a five year-old baby
|
| Yeah, I had her when I was young
|
| Yeah, her daddy’s long gone
|
| But that’s all right, Jack
|
| You see, she saved me
|
| It’s just that I feel stuck in this American town
|
| I finally got a good job, it’d just be dumb to move now
|
| It’s just some days, I can hardly move
|
| Oh, much less, move away
|
| So now, the bills have all been paid
|
| And the money’s all been saved
|
| We’re just as bad as we ever were, ever were
|
| Selling out to the bank and trust
|
| Yeah, I’m the man you trust
|
| Yeah, I’m the man you trust
|
| Yeah, I’m the man you trust
|
| Yeah, I’m the man you trust |
