Todd Snider lyrics : "Brenda"

Met on a train going somewhere fast
He could see what she had right off
Together they built up an empire so vast

That no one and nothing could stop it
He looked like a man of the people
She looked hot as hell at the ball

Of course they made everybody so jealous, but
No one could touch 'em at all
It was true love


Worked while their rivals was resting,
They conquered the world and beyond

With each new insatiable ambition they tested
It 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


Amassed unspeakable fortunes and she still wasn't satisfied
So he set out to find out what she wanted in her mind
What a hell of a ride

Bought private jet planes and castles
Took every pleasure that they could
But 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 drugs 'til he quit
'Cause what mattered was keeping that feeling
What mattered was stayin' on top

Some say what's keeping them together so long is
Feeling that far apart, they could drop
It's true love

True
True love


These days he's calling her Brenda
That wasn't always her name
They both been through so many changes

As they weathered the pressures that came
Not long ago she almost lost him
A lesser man might have been dead

But just when she thought he might be
Giving up, he was back up in business instead
It's his true love


Tonight I'm sure he's in some tavern
He's smoking, he's drinking it in

And I'm sure she's holed up in that office
Crunching them numbers again
He's living it up while she's working

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 love
It was true, it was true
