I Use To Have Money One Time

By: Jimmy Buffett, Michael Utley

1983

For Harrison and Hunter

I had Cadillacs in my future

Debutantes in my past

I made a deal with the devil for a whole lotta money

Thinkin' it would last and last

But a fool and his money are bound to part

And what goes up must come down

Take my advice don't trust the roll of the dice

Keep your feet on solid ground

Chorus:

I used to have money one time

Life of adventure and crime

I used to have money one time

Lots of women and wine

But who's gonna tell a fool? Who's gonna tell a fool?

Who's gonna tell a fool? That he ain't cool (he ain't cool!)

Now thems were hard times back in the eighties boy

People barely had enough to get by

Oh not me foot loose and fancy free

There was nothin' to myself I'd deny

But fellas listen to my story now

Though you have heard this tale before

Take care of your needs and watch out for you greeds

Or that wolf will be at your door

Chorus:

I used to have money one time

Life of adventure and crime

I used to have money one time

Now I ain't got a dime

But who's gonna be the fool? Who's gonna be the fool?

Who's gonna be the fool? Still ain't cool (it ain't cool)

Who's gonna tell a fool? Who's gonna tell a fool?

Who's gonna tell a fool? Still ain't cool (it ain't cool)

(Jimmy used to have money one time)

(Bubba used to have money one time)

(Jimmy used to have money one time)

(Bubba used to have money one time)

(Jimmy used to have money one time)

(Bubba used to have money one time)
