HOMES FOR CASH

CHRIS GIBBONS . MAY 2001



Billy was a cowboy
Suzie was a drag
As they headed into Arizona
Past the county flag

High on some tomorrow
and hidden in the haze
They saw a sign up on the hill
The first they’d seen in days

“I’ll buy your home for cash, dear Billy, and I’ll take Suzie too
There’s a cowboy dance across the town where you can do the boogaloo!”


“Get a little closer babe, the sun it hurts my eyes
The whiskey’s low and I’m feelin’ lonesome, I think I’m gonna cry”.

“Hold on now” says Suzie,
“I think I have a plan;
there’s a man ahead who lost his bead while playing kick the can”

He said;
“ I’ll buy your home for cash dear Billy if your heading outa town
The cactus’ high in the summer sky , so I’ll lay my money down”.

“I’ll buy your home for cash, dear Billy, and I’ll take Suzie too
There’s a cowboy dance across the town where you can do the boogaloo!”
