Il Testo della canzone di:
The Banker – Dan Seals

The banker came today
And found Bobby pitchin' hay
By the road side
He said this paper in my hand
Says I will own this land
In a few days
Bobby's eyes fell to the ground
He kicked the dirt around
In silence
He watched the banker drive away
He knew he could not pay
And it was over
But you can take a man's gold
But you'll never own his soul
The freedom of the soul
Lasts forever
Well, Bobby went to town
Searchin' all around for a favor
And he found Bo the old town drunk
Sleepin' in his bunk in the stable
He said you've only got one leg
But you won't have to beg
If you'll help me
You see, I'm going to sink a well
I'll dig right down to Hell, if I have to
'Cause you can take a man's gold
But you'll never own his soul
The freedom of the soul lasts forever
Day and night they worked the well
They slept right where they fell
In exhaustion
There was magic in the air
And neither seemed to care
What it would cost them
They were awakened by a sound
A deep rumbling in the ground
They felt as if an earthquake had begun
Mother nature's precious crude
It bubbled and it spewed
And exploded like a geyser in the sun
Well, Bobby went to town
The people gathered 'round to see him
'Cause there was oil everywhere
In his eyes, and in his hair
And he was laughin'
And he took his oil-filled cap
And he dumped it in the lap
Of the banker
