Desperate Times

歌詞

Well Jackie he went to high school, in little Texas town He finished up and spent the most of next year bummin' around He couldn't find a job to hold, so on a Friday night He figured he could see the world and buy a 4-wheel drive If he'd join the army, 'cause these are desperate times Well he came back four years later, a little higher off the ground And things there hadn't changed and that just really got him down So he went off to San Antone an hour to the east And got a job a-workin' for the San Antone police Well he had a pistol now, 'cause these are desperate times Well ol' Jackie he got married, and but his ends they wouldn't meet His wife worked at the Texas Commerce Bank just up the street Well Jackie got an idea to get him outta debt And they could live the good life and drive a new Corvette If he'd rob the bank he said, 'cause these are desperate times Well he had planned the whole thing and while his baby worked He came in after hours in a black ski mask and shirt She told him where the money was and that's just where he went The minute that he saw it, he already had it spent Well it wasn't easy, but these are desperate times Well he drove off to Bandera, 'cause that was his hometown And he had it in his mind just where he'd lay that money down He went out to his mom's house and Jack went up the hill To bury that old suitcase full of hundred dollar bills Well he'd let it sit a while, 'cause these are desperate times Well the bank they called the G-men, 'cause they were insured by the Fed And Jill she rolled on Jack, 'cause she was in above her head The G-men gave Jack wind of this when they made his arrest And he asked her why she turned on the one that she loved best Well it wasn't easy Jack, but these are desperate times Yeah and ain't that what she always said, well these are desperate times
