Crafty Sal

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sal rolls in with the van doors open Morning sun on a plastic grin He leans by Crafty, all cool and golden Like he owns that shelf he’s standing in He knows the cookies by the corner label Knows the chips by the crunch they bring He says, "One for the road?" so casual Like a tiny snack could fix anything [Pre-Chorus] But the tab's been closed The sign says "Done" He blinks at the tray Like it might say "come" [Chorus] Sal, oh Sal, you sweet snack bandit You came for love and the free handout Sal, oh Sal, they know your damage "Can't have anymore" — and you still hang out (Still hang out) Sal, oh Sal, my van-star darling You take that loss with a noble pout Sal, oh Sal, at Crafty parking "Can't have anymore" — but you don't back out (You don't back out) [Verse 2] He laughs like, "Fine, I’ll take a grape or two" Then reaches out slow with a hopeful eye The clerk just points to the sign in blue And Sal acts wounded like he might die He’s got the charm of a busted chorus He’s got the heart of a half-bit song But when those snack drawers shut before him He just keeps smiling and rolling on [Pre-Chorus] No more crumbs today No extra cheese He bows to the line Then begs with ease [Chorus] Sal, oh Sal, you sweet snack bandit You came for love and the free handout Sal, oh Sal, they know your damage "Can't have anymore" — and you still hang out (Still hang out) Sal, oh Sal, my van-star darling You take that loss with a noble pout Sal, oh Sal, at Crafty parking "Can't have anymore" — but you don't back out (You don't back out) [Bridge] Maybe it's not the crackers Maybe it's you I came to see You stand there with that empty paper plate Like that’s enough for me So take my hand and take the joke Take the walk back to the van If they won’t give you one more snack I’ll still be your biggest fan [Final Chorus] Sal, oh Sal, you sweet snack bandit You came for love and the free handout Sal, oh Sal, they know your damage "Can't have anymore" — and you still hang out (Still hang out) Sal, oh Sal, my van-star darling You take that loss with a noble pout Sal, oh Sal, at Crafty parking "Can't have anymore" — but you don't back out (You don't back out) [Outro] Sal, oh Sal At Crafty again No more snacks Still my man
