This Beat Was Breathing Before I Turned It On - American Folk Rock

A Loan (Marvin Shelton)

Verse
I don’t know why my girl’s upset
I can’t make any sense of what she said
So here I am, down on my luck
Nothing in my pockets but the keys to my truck

Pre Chorus
So I drove to my local credit union
Asked if I could have an application

CHORUS
Hey Mr. Banker, could you give me a loan?
My lady’s real mad and I can’t go home
I need a wheelbarrow full of cold hard cash
So I can knock on the door, beg her to take me back
She said the only thing she wants from me, is ‘alone’
So please, Mr. Banker, give me a loan

VERSE
I don’t know what takes so long
By the time I’m approved she’s gonna be long gone
I hope I pass that credit check
Lord knows I’m really stickin’ out my neck!

Pre Chorus
I’m already over extended
Don’t know what I’d do if her and I ended

CHORUS
Hey Mr. Banker, could you give me a loan?
My lady’s real mad and I can’t go home
I need a wheelbarrow full of cold hard cash
So I can knock on the door, beg her to take me back
She said the only thing she wants from me, is ‘alone’
So please, Mr. Banker, give me a loan


CHORUS 2
Hey Mr. Banker, could you give me a loan?
My lady’s real mad and I can’t go home
She said the only thing she wants from me, is ‘alone’
So hey Mr. Banker, help me take away her anger
Hey Mr. Banker, give me a loan 
give me a loan
I’ll take one of them little lollipops too
