Robbery in a small town

I wrote a song.  No, I can’t sing it. I can’t sing. No, I do not know how to play an instrument. I just winged it.

It a country song so when you read it put a twang in it. Here you go. Check it out.

Oh, yah this is a true story. This happened in my small town I grow up in back in 1974

 Robbery in a small town.

My mama said to gather around and listen
I got a tale to tell a tale to tell you all
She had just come home from her day job at the bar
Sit down sit down you all gota to hear it all

A smirk on her face told us it was going to be funny

It all started when A 67 Chevy came rolling into town

The two men must had been scoping it all out
They needed money for the bills they could not pay

There was a robbery a robbery in a small town

They got away with the money and the beer
They say the 67 Chevy never was found
There was a robbery a robbery in a small town

One was short and the other one was chunky

We never got a good look at their face
They ran into the bartender on their way out
Grabbed the beer and pushed him back into the bank

They had tied up all the tellers and the banker

Disarmed the alarm and left the vault door swinging in the wind
Ask your uncle Bobby he was there at the bank
All they left was a cloud of dust as they high tailed it out of town.

 There was a robbery in a small town

They got away with the money and the beer
They say the 67 Chevy was never found
There was a robbery a robbery in a small town

Now they must of had watched all the previous weeks
Every Friday at exactly 3.00, the bank alarm would go off
And the bar tender heard the noise and came running over with the beer
Now this had been going on ever since I can remember
It was the way they would celebrate the ending of the week

Now who would have thought anything like this?

Sheriff says it could have been one of us
After all, we are in the middle of nowhere
We have so few outsiders coming into town

There was a robbery in a small town

They go away with money and the beer
They say the 67 Chevy never was found
There was a robbery a robbery in a small town
