Take It To The Bank

(album: Note To Self - 2022)

Well, we ain't the kind for champagne and roses
Don't give a damn if they turn up their noses
We light it up in a lights down, crosstown bar

Yeah, I'm just a man with work on his hands
No, I ain't got a dime, but I do what I can
To give you the moon and love you with all my heart

Yeah, we can take it to the bank
The one that rolls by the riverside
Where we fell in love on a Friday night
At the end of July when we knew we were right from the start
Baby, whatcha think?
We got a half a bottle of sweet red wine
A five-pack of beer and a hook on a line
Nah, we ain't got a dime but we only need a quarter a tank
To take it to the bank

You could tell that story how your daddy got mad
Said I wasn't no good and I better haul ass
And how we went from fist-to-fist to the best of friends

We could hang our legs off the Conehatta Bridge
In the still of the night, I could steal me a kiss
Let it linger and last on our lips like it did back then

Yeah, we can take it to the bank
The one that rolls by the riverside
Where we fell in love on a Friday night
At the end of July when we knew we were right from the start
Baby, whatcha think?
We got a half a bottle of sweet red wine
A five-pack of beer and a hook on a line
Nah, we ain't got a dime but we only need a quarter a tank
To take it to the bank

We could take it to the bank

That sunlight glow coming down from the sky
Well, it can't hold a candle to the one in your eyes
When I tell you we got something that money can't buy

But we can take it to the bank
The one that rolls by the riverside
Where we fell in love on a Friday night
At the end of July when we knew we were right from the start
Baby, whatcha think?
We got a half a bottle of sweet red wine
A five-pack of beer and a hook on a line
Nah, we ain't got a dime but we only need a quarter a tank
And I pray we got a quarter a tank
Take it to the bank

Yeah, we could take it to the bank
