Lynyrd Skynyrd - Money Man - Текст песни

(E. King, J. Van Zant)

This song goes out to all the money men

He drives around in a fancy car 
Smokes those long cuban cigars 
He don't know how to play guitar 
He can't sing but still the pretty girls think he's a star

We play music got families to feed 
Ain't good with numbers and he knows we can't read 
If we get a dollar you know he gets three 
It ain't hard to figure out it's as simple as can be 
Don't ask me ask the money man

These boys are livin' in a fantasy land 
I just keep 'em on the road so they can pay the money man 
I'll be long gone before they understand 
My promises are strong like a road made out of sand

I wanna be your money man 
My mortgage is picked up by the band 
I wanna be your money man 
The boys, oh they're sleepin' out in the van

Don't ask me ask the money man 
You boys are livin' in fantasy land 
You signed the dotted line I'm takin' all I can 
Your money's lookin' good in my retirement plan 
That's just the way it is when your playin' in a band

That's my money man down on his knees 
He ain't prayin' but he damn sure ought to be 
He's at a place where money doesn't grow on trees 
And all his prison buddies doin' more than shoot the breeze 
How does it feel no money man 
Not too good 
What did you do with my money man 
Well I a... Well a you know a... 
How does it feel to be a honey man 
Are you sure that your still a man



Aw your dressed up like a little girl 
Just shootin' the breeze down on your knees 
Money man, oh money man
