Well, she gets real mean when she's drunk   And she finally fell asleep, and I'm glad   She said, 'The only way you got as far as you did   Is 'cause of me. Your songs suck'   And I'm stuck in this American town   And the streets are full of snow   And the shops are closin' down   And the only friend I had here moved away   Went back to Dallas   Ran out of money      So now the bills have all been paid   And the money's all been saved   You're still as sad as you ever were   Sellin' out   To the man you trust      The next morning, just after dawn   On the side of my bed with just a towel on   She said, 'I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.'   You never do, let's finish what we were working on      So now the bills have all been paid   And the money's all been saved   We're just as bad as we ever were   Sellin' out to the bank and trust   Yeah, the bank and trust      And I met this girl from Montgomery   A twenty six-year-old with a five-year-old baby   Yeah, I had her when I was young   Yeah, her daddy's long gone   But that's all right, Jack   You see, she saved me      It's just that I feel stuck in this American town   I finally got a good job, it'd just be dumb to move now   So some days I can hardly move   Much less move away      So now the bills have all been paid   And the money's all been saved   We're just as bad as we ever were, ever were   Selling out to the bank and trust   Yeah, the man you trust   Yeah, the man you trust
