Clay Walker - Money Ain't Everything Lyrics
(kim williams/clay walker/kent blazey)Lets go to louisiana boysWay down in louisiana where the moss and cypress grewYoud find old jack in a shotgun shackIn the back of the black bayouSome folks called him crazy but I knew better than thatHe kept a hundred dollar bill tucked away in the brimOf his dirty old cowboy hatJack told me a story when I was ten yearsHe said there was once a fool tried to swim this swampWith his back weighted down with goldHe said you shouldve seen that alligator smileHe had a meal fit for a kingBut he ened up on my table son, money aint everythingHe said theres only one way into this worldAnd one way out its trueYou either eat the alligatorOr hes gonna eat youTheres people livin in a high-riseThatll never hear a robin singWhat good is first place when youre in a rat raceMoney aint everythingLittle maggie may lay dying, her heart was about to goWhen her daddy found a sack on the porch out backWith a half a million dollars in goldThey still talk about the stranger who saved her life that springNo name on the note but someone wrote, money aint everythingHe said theres only one way into this worldAnd one way out its trueYou either eat the alligatorOr hes gonna eat youTheres people livin in a high-riseThatll never hear a robin singWhat good is first place when youre in a rat raceMoney aint everythingNo name on the note but I know who wrote, money aint everything
