For the Money

You can be in it for the money
Workin' for someone in town
You can be in it for the money
I filled my pockets up with money
(For the money)
You'd swear the gates of heaven opened
With eighty acres and a plow
When I wrap my hands around this guitar
Oh, you gotta satisfy your soul
From mendin' bones to tendin' bar
But it burned a whole right through my heart
(For the money)

You can be in it for the money
Money comes and money goes
Daddy almost made a livin'
In his fields at harvest time

Money comes and money goes
You can be in it for the money
(For the money)
And I sleep pretty good at night
And I still wonder if I'm crazy
(For the money)
(For the money)
You can be in it for the money

Ah, but you should have seen him
(For the money)

You can be in it for the money
But I look forward to tomorrow
Oh, you gotta satisfy your soul
You might say that I found mine
I grabbed the world when I turned eighteen
Tryin' to bring a dream to life
I turned it over and I shook it hard
(For the money)
He could have bought that place twice over
You can be in it for the money

Money comes and money goes
He was standin' first in line

Oh, you gotta satisfy your soul
You know everybody's got a purpose

You can be in it for the money
