I Makes Money (Money Don't Make Me) - Jerry Jeff Walker

One, two, one, two, three, yeah

Well, I makes money, money don’t make me

And that’s the way I am and it’s plain to see

Get right for yourself, can’t put you on the shelf

Live and let live, you know it’s plain enough

There ain’t a dollar in the world make me change my stuff

Now, I met a lots of men who told me

When they finally make their first million

They’re gonna live like kings, gonna try everything

Gonna flatter pretty women

If they know how to do it, why not get to it

Instead of waiting all your life

Your life is only doing, what you think is worth pursuing

Instead of waiting all the time

Well, I makes money, money don’t make me

And that’s the way I am and it’s plain to see

Get right for yourself, can’t put you on the shelf

Live and let live, you know it’s plain enough

There ain’t a dollar in the world that make me change my stuff

Now if you find yourself waiting and you know you’re hesitating

Get your butt off the ground

It ain’t money or your honey and you know it’s kind of funny

When it’s all boiled down

You gonna be the man, you know you certainly can

Just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it

Clothes don’t make the man, money won’t help you stand

Any truer than you’re doin'

Well, I makes money, money don’t make me

And that’s the way I am and it’s plain to see

Get right for yourself, can’t put you on the shelf

Live and let live, you know it’s plain enough

There ain’t a dollar in the world that make me change my stuff

So you’ll never find the endin', sittin' and pretending

You’re gonna do it sometime

Keep it knocking on wood, doing exactly what you should

Trying to save ten cents

Keep build 'em up higher, so you can retire

To your castle in the blue

But you find it’s all behind and it’s probably slipped your mind

And you’re too pooped to toot

I makes money, money don’t make me

And that’s the way I am and it’s plain to see

Get right for yourself, can’t put you on the shelf

Live and let live, you know it’s plain enough

There ain’t a dollar in the world that make me change my stuff
