Carpetbaggers Lyrics - Acid Tongue - Jenny Lewis

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 

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 'round 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 

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
