Money Talks
by Ronnie and Terri Furr copyright 2005

Johnny thought he had a chance with sweet Mary Ann,
but way down deep he knew he wasn't her kinda man.
Cause one night he heard her say,
You know this may sound a little funny,
but I married the first time for love but this time's for money.

Money talks, and Johnny walks, down the road a kickin' on rocks.
He just don't know it but, his ship has already sank.
Money talks, and Johnny walks, down the road lookin' through teardrops,
while the rich folks are laughin' all the way to the bank.

You know it seems like he's always drowndin' in see of bills,
he's in deep, deep water with a long, long way to swim.
And if he thought it would do any good,
He'd rob Peter to pay ole Paul, but he knows that Peter ain't got no money either.

He just don't know, that talkin' trash,
can't compete with cold hard cash.
He'll never learn, and it's a crime,
cause, here is the bottom line.

Money talks, and Johnny walks, down the road a kickin' on rocks.
He just don't know it but, his ship has already sank.
Money talks, and Johnny walks, down the road lookin' through teardrops,
while the rich folks are laughin' all the way to the bank.

You know he said the price of love is just way too high,
and when he looks at his paycheck, it makes him want to cry.
cause, the one thing he needed the most,
was real love and someone to hold.
He just needs to find that rainbow with a pot of gold.

Money talks, and Johnny walks, down the road a kickin' on rocks.
He just don't know it but, his ship has already sank.
Money talks, and Johnny walks, down the road lookin' through teardrops,
while the rich folks are laughin' all the way to the bank.
