Montgomery Gentry - For The Money Lyrics
Ah, let me tell you a little story about my family Daddy almost made a living with eighty acres and a plow He could've bought that place twice over working for someone in town Ah, but you should've seen him in his fields at harvest time He'd swear the gates of heaven opened and he was standing first in line You can't be in it for the money Money comes and money goes You can't be in it for the money Oh, you got to 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 in it for the money Money comes and money goes You can't be in it for the money Oh, you got to satisfy your soul You know everybody's got a purpose From mending bones to tending farms You might say that I found mine When I wrap my hands around this guitar And I still wonder if I'm crazy Trying to bring a dream to life But I look forward to tomorrow And I sleep pretty good at night You can't be in it for the money Money comes and money goes You can't be in it for the money Oh, you got to satisfy your soul You can't be in it for the money You can't be in it for the money
