There's a place this side of Dallas
You can get the picture from the parking lot
Where that old dented Chevy pickup truck
Wonders if that custom Cadillac is hot....or what
That's where the trash meets the cash
The Duke of Oil
Brought the Cowtown Princess
She wants that rowdy roughneck struttin' past
But he's got his eye on the bimbette with the banker
That's where the trash meets the cash
Chorus
They come from Hereford, Amarillo and Odessa
Position sought: diggin' for gold
And from the boardrooms and from Niemann's
To that not-so-silent auction
Where what can't be bought, nonetheless, is sold
Good is good, bad is better
Where the trash meets the cash
Well, there's fast talk and there's sweet talk
Sometimes there ain't no talk at all
They go for broke in that neon shopping mall
They've even got a scoreboard on the wall
Good is good, bad is better
Where the trash meets the cash
Chorus
I guess it all comes down to family values
Where the trash meets the cash
