Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

My Baby's Just Like Money

Well, my baby's just like money

True while you hold her tight

But if you let her go, she'll blow like dough

Honky-tonk day and night

'Cos a friend of mine, he came and wised me up

This is what he said

"Money goes from hand to hand

And your baby goes to man to man"

Listen now, baby

And I don't mean maybe

Honey, I'm telling you

You're making me blue

That's why I know it's true

'Cos I found out, honey

You're just like money

Root of all evil

Money goes from hand to hand

And you know you go from man to man

Yeah, my baby's just like money

She goes everywhere

And I'm telling you her love's untrue

And I know that she don't care

Just as long as she's got a ticket to ride

That gal's satisfied

Money goes from hand to hand

And my baby goes to man to man

Listen here, baby

And I don't mean maybe

You got to change your ways starting today

Or your daddy's not gonna stay

'Cos I found out, honey

You're just like money

Root of all evil

Money goes from hand to hand

You know you go from man to man
