Montgomery Gentry - For The Money lyrics

rate me

(Rivers Rutherford, Sam Tate, Annie Tate)

Ah, let me tell ya a little story about my family

Daddy almost made a living with eighty acres and a plow

He could have bought that place twice over working for someone in town

Ah, but you should have seen him

In his fields at harvest time

You抎 swear the gates of heaven opened

He was standing first in line

You can抰 be in it for the money

Money comes and money goes

You can抰 be in it for the money

Oh, you 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 whole right through my heart

You can抰 be in it for the money

Money comes and money goes

You can抰 be in it for the money

Oh, you gotta satisfy your soul

You know everybody抯 got a purpose

From mending bones to tending bar

You might say that I found mine

When I wrap my hands around this guitar

I still wonder if I抦 crazy

Trying to bring a dream to life

But I look forward to tomorrow

And I sleep pretty good at night

You can抰 be in it for the money

Money comes and money goes

You can抰 be in it for the money

Oh, you gotta satisfy your soul

You can抰 be in it for the money

You can抰 be in it for the money
