歌曲歌詞
Walkin like a millionaire
Smilin like a king
He leaned his shopping cart against the wall
He said I been a lot of places
And I seen a lot of things
But sonny I seen one thing that beats em all
I was flyin back from lubbock
I saw jesus on the plane
Or maybe it was elvis
You know they kinda look the same
Hey look out junior you're steppin on my bed
I said I don't see nothin
He just glared at me and said
If dirt were dollars
If dirt were dollars
If dirt were dollars
I wouldn't worry anymore
Lookin like a beauty queen
Loyal as a wife
She raised her little voice and testified
I am a good girl
I've been one all my life
But her virtue was as swollen as her pride
She shouldve had the oscar
She must have been miscast
Her fifteen minutes went by so fast
I said now baby have you got no shame
She just looked at me uncomprehendingly
Like cows at a passing train
If dirt were dollars
If dirt were dollars
If dirt were dollars
I wouldn't worry anymore
We got the bully pulpit
And the poisoned pen
We got a press no better
Than the public men
This brave new world
Gone bad again
Gods finest little creatures
Looking brave and strong
Whistling past the graveyard
Nothing can go wrong
Quoting from the scriptures
With patriotic tears
We got the same old men
With the same old fears
Standing at attention
Wrapped in stars and stripes
They hear the phantom drummers
And the nonexistent pipes
These days the buck stops nowhere
No one takes the blame
But evil is still evil
In anybodys name
If dirt were dollars
If dirt were dollars
If dirt were dollars
Wed all be in the black
If dirt were dollars
If dirt were dollars
If dirt were dollars
I wouldn't worry anymore
If dirt were dollars
If dirt were dollars
