You Know You Can Trust Me

You Know You Can Trust Me

By Elton Camp

He’s the most trustworthy man I ever saw
Yep, that’s sure true of my brother-in-law

He never saves back against a rainy day
When funds are short, he comes our way

It seems that from his job he just got fired
But for one even better he’s been hired

Before the payday, his funds will be gone
He sure hates to ask, but he needs a loan

To pay it back right away he says he’ll do
And he insists on paying us interest too

However, the loan we gave five years ago
It seems he has forgotten all about, though

His car is newer and nicer than we own
And he has the most advanced iPhone

Bubba plays golf most every weekend
On restaurant meals, money does spend

Yes, we’ve found we can trust him all right
Trust him to return next time he’s in a tight
