Todd Snider - Brenda lyrics

Snider Met on a train goin' somewhere fast He could see what she had right on Together they build up an empire so vast That no one and nothin' could stop them. He looked like a man of the people She looked high as hell at the ball Of course they made everybody so jealous But no one could touch ‘em et all, it was true, love. Worked while their rivals was restin' They conquered the world and beyond With each new insatiable ambition They tested and strengthened their bond. He wasn't nearly as driven She wasn't nearly as fun But together they was quite a combination When it come down to gettin' it done, it was true love, true love. They ama**ed unspeakable fortunes and she still wasn't satisfied So she set out to find what she wanted in her mind, what a hell of a ride Bought private jet planes and castles Took every pleasure that they could Well, good love comes with its troubles Where things, things wouldn't always be good, it was true love. There was a few times that she cheated There was even some times when they split But she helped him when he got arrested And she put up with his d** til he quit ……… Cause what mattered was keepin' that feeling What mattered was stayin' on top Some say what's keepin' them together so long Is feelin' they've already thought they could drop, it's true love, true, true love. These days he's callin' her Brenda, that wasn't always her name They've both been through so many changes as they weathered the pressures that came Not long ago she almost lost him, lesser man might've been dead But just when she thought he might be giving up, he was back up in business instead, it was true love. Tonight I'm sure he's in some tavern, smokin', he's drinkin' it in And I'm sure she's holed up in that office, crunchin' the numbers again He's livin' it up while she's workin', I guess that's just about right Mick Jagger was born on a Monday morning, Keith Richards was born on a Saturday night It was true It was true, it was true, it was true love It was true, it was true love.
