GThey come to town when the Cwar is ovDer
GDirty boots in the Cmiddle of theD night
GTrolling the bars, Chitting on the Dsoldiers
GBoys give it up wDithout a Gfight
GThey say, ?G??Hey, boy, hCow abouDt your place?
GI know you really want toC take meD home”
GDrop the bags off on the CbedroomD floor
GThey make love with the liDghtsG on, saying
C“I’m a carpetbaggGer, baby

GSally could have had any Cone of the Dboys
But sheG couldn’t love no one she couCld not contDrol

GDragging around the Cgrocery sDtore
GCarrying her bags and Cpushing down the Daisles
Saying, “I aGin’t got no home in tDhis worldG anymore”

CI’m going to treat you kind (woo-hoo)
GI’m going to rob you blind (woo-hoo)
DI’ll smile all the time
