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 SOLO 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 From Charlie Robison "Bandera" Vireo Records 1995 http://www.texascountrymusic.com/charlie/
