Desperate Times Lyrics

Jack he went to high school in a little Texas town

He finished up and spent most of the next year b**ming round
He couldn't find job to hold so on a Friday night

He figured he could see the world and buy a four wheel drive

If he joined the Army

Cause these are desperate times

Well he came back four years later a little higher off the ground

Things there hadn't changes and that just really got him down

So he went of to San Antone an hour to the east

And got a job working for the San Antone police

He had a pistol now

These are desperate times

Old Jackie he got married but his ends just wouldn't meet

His wife worked at the Texas Commerce Bank just up the street

Jack he got an idea to get him out of debt

And they could live a good life and drive a new corvette
If he robbed the bank he said

These are desperate times

He had planned the whole thing and while his baby worked

He came in after hours in a black ski mask and shirt

She'd 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

SOLO

He drove off to Bandera that was his home town
He had it in his mind just where he'd lay that money down

He went out to his mom's house Jack went up the hill

To bury that old suitcase full of hundred dollar bills

He'd let it sit a while

Cause these are desperate times

The bank they called the g men cause they were insured by the fed

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

He asked her why she turned on the one that she loved best

Well it wasn't easy Jack

These are desperate times

Yea ain't that what you always said

These are desperate times
