[00:00.00]The Banker - Dan Seals
[00:22.26]The banker came today
[00:24.72]Found bobby pitchin hay
[00:26.94]By the road side
[00:32.70]Said this paper in my hand
[00:36.19]I will own this land
[00:38.29]In a few days
[00:43.68]Bobby's eyes fell to the ground
[00:46.93]He kicked the dirt around
[00:49.44]In silence
[00:54.34]He watched the banker drive away
[00:57.92]He knew he could not pay
[01:00.08]And it was over
[01:05.76]But you can take a man's gold
[01:08.47]But you'll never own his soul
[01:11.56]The freedom of the soul
[01:14.01]Lasts forever
[01:25.65]Well bobby went to town
[01:28.10]Searchin' all around for a favor
[01:35.77]And he found bo the old town drunk
[01:39.34]Sleepin' in his bunk in the stable
[01:47.09]As you've only got one leg
[01:50.16]But you won't have to beg
[01:52.45]If you'll help me
[01:58.12]You see I'm going to sink a well
[02:01.29]I'll dig right down to hell if I have to
[02:08.83]'Cause you can take a man's gold
[02:11.71]But you'll never own his soul
[02:14.98]The freedom of the soul lasts forever
[02:28.63]Day and night they worked the well
[02:31.60]They slept right where they fell
[02:33.84]In exhaustion
[02:39.43]There was magic in the air
[02:42.58]And neither seemed to care
[02:44.84]What it would cost them
[03:18.11]They were awakened by a sound
[03:21.27]A deep rumbling in the ground
[03:24.28]They felt as if an earthquake had begun
[03:29.53]Mother nature's precious crude
[03:32.75]It bubbled and it spewed
[03:35.45]And exploded like a geyser in the sun
[04:01.55]Bobby went to town
[04:03.68]The people gathered 'round to see him
[04:11.90]There was oil everywhere
[04:14.70]In his eyes and in his hair
[04:17.47]And he was laughin'
[04:22.89]And he took his oil filled cap
[04:27.75]And he dumped it in the lap
[04:31.73]Of the banker
