The old one was just getting too small
There in the closet, up against the wall
The paint was starting to get thin
The rust was settling in
Babe, we got a brand new safe
Had to get down on your knees to do the calm
The dial would shake and would rattle some
You pulled on the handle and the handle would stick
I was the only one to know the trick
Babe, we got a brand new safe
Don't you remember the time when we left town?
We come back and the place had burned down?
There in the rubble, in the soot, in the ash
Was that metal box with all our valuables and cash
Babe, we got a brand new safe
Babe, we got a brand new safe
