Making Money

Making money, it isn’t easy
And it sure won’t make you happy
So I think it’s funny
We’re so concerned with making money
And money won’t keep folks from grieving
And it won’t stop love from leaving
So here’s my two cents
What’s the use in making money
And I know that life ain’t cheap
And not all good things are free
But there is no enough and no too much
And it seems so strange to me
I just think it’s funny
We’re so concerned with making money
I make my living singing love songs
That I made up 'cause I love songs
But folks believe 'em
So I’m receiving paper money
Don’t get me wrong, I love my lady
And I probably wouldn’t trade her
But life’s no better
With debts or debtors making money
And I know that life ain’t cheap
And not all good things are free
But there is no enough and no too much
And it seems so strange to me
I just think it’s funny
We’re so concerned with making money
Everybody’s got their reasons
Finer wines or fairer seasons
If we’re truthful
We know we’re fools for making money
