Lender

(Album: Make Your Mama Proud - 1996)

Peel me off a fiver
That stack looks pretty thick
Money takes some time
To make me spend it all too quick
And I'll try to remember
That this is just a lender

Till I'm on my feet, back in the car
I won't forget who my friends are
You were always there when I needed you
I can be there too

Loan me fifteen dollars
My wallet's getting thin
My rent is due and I know that you
Have recently come in
To a large amount of money
Hey, man, can you make that 20?

Till I'm on my feet, back in the car
I won't forget who my friends are
You were always there when I needed you
I can be there too

Hey, haven't you heard, didn't you know?
I cleaned up six weeks ago
I'm on the straight and narrow track
And I can't pay you back

Till I'm on my feet, back in the car
I won't forget who my friends are
You were always there when I needed you
I can be there too

Oh, hey, how ya doing?
No, I did not forget
I promised I would pay you back
But I ain't got it yet
And you don't have to sweat it
I'll call you when I get it

When I'm on my feet, back in the car
I won't forget who my friends are
I'm on the straight and narrow track
I'll remember to pay you back
You were always there when I needed you
I can be there too
