Carpetbaggers Lyrics

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, saying



"I'm a carpetbagger, baby

I'm coming to your town

I'm going to treat you kind (woo-hoo)

I'm going to rob you blind (woo-hoo)

I'll smile all the time

Whoa, yeah x3



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 them anymore

Last I heard, he had a rope around his neck

Dragging around the grocery store

Carrying her bags and pushing 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 going to treat you kind (woo-hoo)

I'm going to rob you blind (woo-hoo)

I'll smile all the time

Whoa, yeah x3



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



Singing, "I'm a carpetbagger, baby

I'm coming to your town

I'm going to treat you kind (woo-hoo)

I'm going to rob you blind (woo-hoo)

I'll smile all the time

Whoa, yeah x4
