I Make Money

I Make Money

(albüm: ¡Viva Luckenbach! - 1994)

I makes money, money don't make me
That's the way I am and it's plain to see
Get right for yourself
They can't put you on a shelf
Live and let live
You know it's plain enough
There ain't a dollar in the world
Can make me change my stuff

I met lots of men who told me when
They finally make their first million
They're gonna live like kings
Gonna try everything
They're gonna flatter pretty women
If they know how to do it
Why not get to it
Instead of waiting all your life
'Cause life is only doing
What you think is worth pursuing
Instead of waiting all the time

If you find yourself waiting
And you know you're hesitating
Get your butt off the ground
It ain't your money or your honey
And you know it's kind of funny
When it's all boiled down
If you want to be the man
And you know you certainly can
Then do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Clothes don't make the man
Money won't help you stand
Any truer than you're doing
So you'll never find the ending
Of sitting and pretending
You're gonna do it sometime
You keep knocking on wood
Doing exactly what you should
Trying to save enough dimes

Build 'em up higher
So you can retire, to your castle in the blue
But you find it's all behind and it's probably slipped your mind
And you're too pooped to toot
