Carpetbaggers

They come to town when the war is over

Dirty boots in the middle of the night

Trollin' 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 wanna 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 gonna treat you kind

I'm gonna rob you blind

I'll smile all the time"

Whoa, yeah

Whoa, yeah

Whoa, yeah

Whoa, yeah

Sally could've 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

Draggin' around the grocery store

Carryin' her bags, pushin' 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 gonna treat you kind

I'm gonna 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 true's 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 gonna treat you kind

I'm gonna rob you blind

I'll smile all the time

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah
