The Bank And Trust Lyrics

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

Is '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 closin' 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

Sellin' 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

Sellin' out to the bank and trust

Yeah, the bank and trust



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

So some days I can hardly move

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, the man you trust

Yeah, the man you trust
