Steve Azar - Damn The Money lyrics

Johnny Gunn he's a guitar player

Makin' next to nothin' at a bar nowheres he says

Damn the money

Damn the money

Counts his tips, buys a shot of booze

Grabs a Lucky Strike, lights another fuse

And says

Damn the money

Damn the money

Well, he dreams about some place warm and sunny

Livin' in the land of milk and honey

Well, brother ain't life funny

Damn the money

Rether Brown she's a bank teller

Got the green in her eyes and the green on her

Fingers she says

Damn the money

Damn the money

Shakes her head, counts another grand

While the hundreds fly through her poor little

Hands she says

Damn the money

Damn the money

Well, she dreams about some place warm and sunny

Livin' in the land of milk and honey

Well, sister ain't life funny

Damn the money

It sure seems like

So much life's spent searchin' for the promise land

But the time that's lost

Worryin' 'bout the cost

Will never come back again

And it breaks us in the end

Damn the money

Now I'm drivin' alone down this long highway

Thinkin' 'bout the dream I let slip away I say

Damn the money

Yeah, damn the money

Now I know how she used to feel

When I was gone too long tryin' to close some

Deal I say

Damn the money

Damn the money

Callin' home from some place warm and sunny

Runnin' from the land of milk and honey

The way we look at life is funny

Damn the money

Damn the money

Damn the money

Yeah, damn the money
