Jerry Jeff Walker I Makes Money (money Don't Make Me)
One, two, one, two, three, yeah
Well, I makes money, money don't make me
And that's the way I am and it's plain to see
Get right for yourself, can't put you on the shelf
Live and let live, you know it's plain enough
There ain't a dollar in the world make me change my stuff
Now, I met a lots of men who told me
When they finally make their first million
They're gonna live like kings, gonna try everything
Gonna flatter pretty women
If they know how to do it, why not get to it
Instead of waiting all your life
Your life is only doing, what you think is worth pursuing
Instead of waiting all the time
Well, I makes money, money don't make me
And that's the way I am and it's plain to see
Get right for yourself, can't put you on the shelf
Live and let live, you know it's plain enough
There ain't a dollar in the world that make me change my stuff
Now if you find yourself waiting and you know you're hesitating
Get your butt off the ground
It ain't money or your honey and you know it's kind of funny
When it's all boiled down
You gonna be the man, you know you certainly can
Just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Clothes don't make the man, money won't help you stand
Any truer than you're doin'
Well, I makes money, money don't make me
And that's the way I am and it's plain to see
Get right for yourself, can't put you on the shelf
Live and let live, you know it's plain enough
There ain't a dollar in the world that make me change my stuff
So you'll never find the endin', sittin' and pretending
You're gonna do it sometime
Keep it knocking on wood, doing exactly what you should
Trying to save ten cents
Keep build 'em up higher, so you can retire
To your castle in the blue
But you find it's all behind and it's probably slipped your mind
And you're too pooped to toot
I makes money, money don't make me
And that's the way I am and it's plain to see
Get right for yourself, can't put you on the shelf
Live and let live, you know it's plain enough
There ain't a dollar in the world that make me change my stuff
