VERSE 1

 

Ah sweet thing, I was kinda

 

Sick a couple days last week.

 

Didn’t work while I was off my feet.

 

I don’t wanna tell your Mom, your Dad,

 

When finances look bleak.

 

Don’t put our problems out on the street.

 

 

Why have folks jawin’ on

 

A little thing like this.

 

No need for everyone

 

To know our business.

 

 

And that’s why...

 

 

We need a pawn loan.

 

There’s no need for us

 

To do something rash.

 

Yeah, We need a pawn loan.

 

Walk in with some stuff,

 

Walk out with some cash.

 

We need a loan.

 

Yes we do!

 

 

VERSE 2

 

Hey, I’d pawn my shot gun,

 

But I’m gonna need it,

 

Next week when pheasant season starts.

 

And while my generator would,

 

Be a good choice,

 

It’s broken and I’m waiting for parts.

 

 

 

But to keep the power on,

 

Now baby, here’s the thing.

 

All we've got fit to pawn,  

 

Is your wedding ring.

 

So baby…?

 

 

CHORUS

 

We need a pawn loan.

 

There’s no need for us

 

To do something rash.

 

Yeah, we need a pawn loan.

 

Walk in with your ring,

 

Walk out with some cash.

 

We need a loan.

 

 

BRIDGE

 

How’s business good people,

 

Here at Pawn Castle?

 

Yep, true that, it’s the

 

first time I’ve stopped here.

 

I’ve worked with that store across town.

 

You know who I mean.

 

But getting there’s a hassle,

 

with the traffic and all.

 

 

VERSE 3

 

Say, why not give you folks a shot,

 

Before I drive to Decatur.

 

Would y’all loan on what I’ve got…

 

A shot gun and a generator?

 

Yeah, it runs great.

 

 

CHORUS

 

We need a pawn loan.

 

There’s no need for us

 

To do something rash.

 

Yeah, we need a pawn loan.

 

Walk in with some stuff,

 

Walk out with some cash.

 

We need a loan.

 

The End
