So I knew this man in the South Bend
He lost everything
He was conned by this moocher guy
That stole all his life
Yeah I knew this man in the South Bend
Who lost everything
He was conned by this moocher guy
Dude he even took his wife

He was looking to get even
But things they got in the way


The guy showed up at his place
Asked to stay for the night
Our man was a cool guy
So he said alright
Yeah this guy showed up at his place
Asked to stay for the night
Our man was a cool guy
So he said alright

But little did he know
That that was the start of his slide

Oh no! x 3


LEAD 1


Mooch kept asking for money
And another week's stay
He sure got what he wanted
He even took the girl
Our man had left his house
Yeah he left his house
Never to return
Or so he thought

I told him go get yours
Coz it belongs to you

So I knew this man in South Bend
He had lost everything
He was drowning in his beer
And he gave up on his dream
Yeah I knew this man in South Bend
He had lost everything
But he stopped drowning in his beer
Decided to reclaim his dream

He was looking to get even
And now nothing will get in his way
Yeah nothing
