Brenda & Diane

Brenda & Diane

In a car full of cash, credit cards, and

That reckless abandon

That comes with a win

Put it all on three

Shaking hands, some dice, and a drink

Yeah, this place fucking stinks

At least you don't have to think

I was playing my songs

I've had some ups and downs, I've played to no one at all

Except Brenda & Diane

A couple drinks in their hand

They said, "Son, do you know?

We've been running for years till we run out of dough"

And they stumbled a bit

And asked me to sit

I laughed and said, "Fine"

Diane said, "Shut the fuck up

You think you're being so kind

To a couple old ladies

Who ain't worth your time"

She said, "You can't imagine

What we're running from

Yeah, your life's on the line, kid

Yeah, your life is a gift

And you act like it's a joke"

As I was driving home

I reached into my pocket and I pulled out a note

And it just flew out the window

And I just kept driving home
