For the Money - Montgomery Gentry

Oh let me tell you a little story about my family

Daddy almost made a livin'

With eighty acres and a plow

He could have bought that place twice over

Workin' for someone in town

Oh but you should have seen him

In his fields at harvest time

He'd swear the gates of heaven opened

And he was standin' first in line

You can't be

You can't be in it for the money

(for the money)

Can't be

Money comes and money goes

You can't be

You can't be in it for the money

Oh you've gotta satisfy your soul

I grabbed the world when I turned eighteen

I turned it over and I shook it hard

I filled my pockets up with money

But it burned a hole right through my heart

You can't be

You can't be in it for the money

(for the money)

Can't be

Money comes and money goes

You can't be

You can't be in it for the money

Oh you've gotta satisfy your soul

You know everybody's got a purpose

From mendin' bones to tendin' bars

You might say that i've found mine

When I wrap my hands around this guitar

And I still wonder if i'm crazy

Tryin to bring a dream to life

But I look forward to tomorrow

And I sleep pretty good at night

You can't be

You can't be in it for the money

(for the money)

Can't be

Money comes and money goes

You can't be

You can't be in it for the money

Oh you've gotta satisfy your soul

Can't be

You can't be in it for the money

(for the money)

Can't be

You can't be in it for the money

(for the money)
