One night at a round table, in a small bar in Texas. Friends sat around it. Drinking beer laughing, telling jokes. Too many in. Someone sneezes. He looks at me, and says, ” You know you can rob a bank with a booger? Dammit Charlie! …We miss you so much down here, never be another like you. This one’s for you. Tasteless…Yes. Alot of things could get that way around that table.

The Redneck Heist

Verse 1
Bowlegged cowboy, dusty boots,
Jingle in his pocket—seventeen forty-two,
Walks in the bank just to check his pay,
Hat in his hand, just another broke day.
Floorboard creaks, ceiling fan hums,
He feels that tickle, says, “Uh-oh, here it comes.”
Sneezes once—bless him, Lord—
Sneezes twice and it hits like a cattle prod.
Pre-Chorus
He wipes his nose, just habit and fate,
Didn’t mean no harm, wasn’t runnin’ late.
That finger came back up,
With somethin’ green enough to start a holdup.
Chorus
You could hold up a bank with a booger,
Didn’t even raise his voice, didn’t say a word, sir.
Ladies screamed, hands went high,
Tellers hit the button like the Fourth of July.
He said, “Ma’am, I just need my change,”
They said, “Take it all, just don’t let that thing wave!”
Yeah, he walked out richer than a Wall Street crooker—
Turns out you can hold up a bank with a booger.
Verse 2
Security freezes, cameras blink,
One gal faints clean out at the sight of that thing.
Manager’s cryin’, vault doors slide,
Money starts flowin’ like a busted dike.
They shove two bags ‘cross the polished floor,
“Sir please leave—slowly—out the door!”
He’s standin’ there confused as hell,
Still wonderin’ why nobody’ll look at him well.
Pre-Chorus 2
He says, “Is my balance really that bad?”
They said, “Son, just take it and be glad.”
He tips his hat, don’t ask why,
Finger still up like it’s sayin’ goodbye.
Chorus
You could hold up a bank with a booger,
No ski mask, no gun, no silver Ruger.
Just one green glob hangin’ on for dear life,
Cleared out the vault quicker than a Bonnie & Clyde heist.
Sirens cryin’, folks shook and shooker,
He never knew he was the world’s grossest crooker.
Yeah, he rode out free, smellin’ like manure—
Livin’ proof you can hold up a bank with a booger

Bridge
Mounted up on his old brown horse,
Money flappin’ in sacks, no remorse.
He wipes his hand on his denim jeans,
Still don’t know what the hell that scene means.
Rides into town sayin’, “That bank’s real nice,”
“Friendliest folks I’ve seen in my life.”
Final Chorus
You could hold up a bank with a booger,
Just sneeze real hard and let fate maneuver.
No fingerprints, no getaway plan,
Just nasal drama and a confused country man.
So next time you’re broke and down to your last quarter,
Remember this tale of unintended disorder.
Crime don’t always look like a movie thriller—
Sometimes it’s mucus, timing, and a whole lotta chillin’.
Outro
Seventeen forty-nine was all he took in,
Left with two bags and a story to spin.
Still ridin’ tall, still none the wiser—
The most disgusting outlaw you ever did hire
