Damn The Money Lyrics

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
