Carpetbaggers

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
 "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
