For The Money Lyrics

Ah, let me tell you a little story about my family
Daddy almost made a livin' With eighty acres and a plow He could have bought that place twice over Workin' for someone in town
Ah, but you should have seen him In his fields at harvest time You'd swear the gates of heaven opened He was standin' first in line
You can be in it for the money (For the money) Money comes and money goes You can be in it for the money (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 be in it for the money (For the money) Money comes and money goes You can be in it for the money (For the money) Oh, you gotta satisfy your soul
You know everybody's got a purpose From mendin' bones to tendin' bar You might say that I found mine When I wrap my hands around this guitar
And I still wonder if I'm crazy Tryin' to bring a dream to life But I look forward to tomorrow And I sleep pretty good at night
You can be in it for the money (For the money) Money comes and money goes You can be in it for the money (For the money) Oh, you gotta satisfy your soul
You can be in it for the money (For the money) You can be in it for the money (For the money)
