Charlie Robison Desperate Times written by Charlie Robison
D
Jack he went to high school in a little Texas town
He finished up and spent most of the next year bumming round
G
He couldn't find job to hold so on a Friday night
D
He figured he could see the world and buy a four wheel drive
C
If he joined the Army
G D
Cause these are desperate times
D
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
G
So he went of to San Antone an hour to the east
D
And got a job working for the San Antone police
C
He had a pistol now
G D
These are desperate times
D
Old Jackie he got married but his ends just wouldn't meet
His wife worked at the Texas Commerce Bank just up the street
G
Jack he got an idea to get him out of debt
D
And they could live a good life and drive a new corvette
C
If he robbed the bank he said
G D
These are desperate times
G
He had planned the whole thing and while his baby worked
D
He came in after hours in a black ski mask and shirt
G
She'd told him where the money was and that's just where he went
D
The minute that he saw it he already had it spent
C
Well it wasn't easy
G D
But these are desperate times
D
He drove off to Bandera that was his home town
He had it in his mind just where he'd lay that money down
G
He went out to his mom's house Jack went up the hill
D
To bury that old suitcase full of hundred dollar bills
C
He'd let it sit a while
G D
Cause these are desperate times
G
The bank they called the g men cause they were insured by the fed
D
Jill she rolled on Jack cause she was in above her head
G
The g men gave Jack wind of this when they made his arrest
D
He asked her why she turned on the one that she loved best
C G
Well it wasn't easy Jack
G D
These are desperate times
C
Yea ain't that what you always said
G D
These are desperate times
