In It For The Money
Woohoowoohoo woo wooh who
Woohoowoohoo woo wooh who
One night in New Orleans I met a painted lady
She swore that she knew just how to save me
She said it wouldn 't take long
just to do you a minute
Believe me boy you won't soon forget it
But I was too dead and I told her no
She grabbed my hand and she wouldn' t let go
She said listen here boy
we aint that different you and me
And its human nature been that way since Cain and Able
If theres bread in your pocket
it dont matter how you got it
As long as theres food on the table.
Yeah and sooner or latter
your gonna figure it out honey
If you aint in it for love
your in it for the money
Ahh your in it for the money
I met and old-timer behind Tootsies Lounge
In the shadow of the Ryman as the sun went down.
He said theyll steal your soul in a radio song
They say you want fame but it wont last long
He said you'll be tempted but you better say no
He grabbed my hand and he wouldnt let go
He said cowboy we aint that different you and me
Yeah its human nature been that way since Hank and Waylon
You put fame in your pocket
but as soon as you got it your star is already fadin'
Yeah and sooner or latter this old town sure seems funny
And you aint in it for love
your in it for the money
For the money
Everybodys tempted
Well everybodys tempted
Well have you been tempted
yeah yeah yeah
And its human naturebeen that way since Cain and Able
If theres bread in your pocket
it dont matter how you got it
As long as theres food on the table.
Yeah and sooner or latter
you better ask yourself honey
Do you do what you do for love
Do you do what you do for love
And if you aint in it for love
Then your in it for the money
Its all about the money
