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 ain't that different you and me

And it's human nature been that way since Cain and Able

If there's bread in your pocket it don't matter how you got it

As long as there's food on the table.

Yeah and sooner or latter your gonna figure it out honey

If you ain't 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 when down.

He said they'll steal your soul in a radio song

They say you want fame but it won't last long

He said you'll be tempted but you better say no

He grabbed my hand and he wouldn't let go

He said cowboy we ain't that different you and me

Yeah it's 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 ain't in it for love your in it for the money

For the money

Everybody's temped

Well everybody's temped

Well have you been temped

Yeah yeah yeah

And it's human nature been that way since Cain and Able

If there's bread in your pocket it don't matter how you got it

As long as there's 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 ain't in it for love

Then your in it for the money

It's all about the money
