Todd Snider

Brenda

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

What while the rabbles 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 amassed unspeakable fortunes and she still wasn’t satisfied

So he fell 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 upped and went and he got arrested

And she put up with it

It was drugs

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

That opened them to so many changes

As they weathered the pressures of change

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, cruchin’ 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 love

It was true, it was true, it was true love

It was true, it was true love
