Carpetbaggers

Carpetbaggers - Jenny Lewis

Written by：Johnathan Rice

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 sayin'

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 around his neck

Dragging around the grocery store

Carrying her bags and pushing down the aisles

And 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
