Our First Dollar

Download Song

From "Jupiter the Balloon Horse"

One afternoon
At the greasy spoon
I was servin up the split pea
When a good lookin man
With a gun in hand
Came and sidled right up to me
Up to me

He said, If you don't mind
I'm here to rob you blind
Maam, but I ain't gonna take it all
Just want a dollar bill
But not from the till,
No, the framed one on the wall
On the wall
On the wall.

And there ain't no woman
Strong enough to hold me.

Our first dollars on the wall
In a frame
Every dollar bill is not the same
Our first dollars in the hand
Of a good lookin man
And we 're never gonna see it again

Now this last-of-his-breed
Lonesome-eyed rambler
Set my young heart in flames
As he put that buck
In his pick-up truck
With a hundred other ones in frames
Ones in frames

And ain't there a woman
Strong enough to hold him

Our first dollars on the wall
In a frame
Every dollar bill is not the same
Our first dollars in the hand
Of a good lookin man
And we 're never gonna see it again
