The Very Thing That Makes You Rich (Makes Me Poor)

歌曲歌詞

My father told me, lyin' on his bed of death

"Boy," he says, "Woman, she's gonna make it, don't fool yourself

'Cause she's got somethin' to make a man

Lay that money, uh, right in her hand

And the very thing that makes her rich will make you poor

The very thing that makes her rich will make you poor", that's right

Well, I put you behind the wheel of a deuce and a quarter, yes I did

Had you livin' like a rich man's daughter, yes I did, I sure did

While you were livin' high on the hog

You had me down here scuffling like a dog

Well, the very thing that made you rich made me poor

Very thing that made you rich made me poor

Don't you never, ever make such a bad mistake

You know I'd rather climb into bed with a rattlesnake, that's right

Then to work hard every day bringin' that woman all my pay

The very thing that makes her rich makes me poor

Makes me so damn poor

The thing that makes her rich makes me poor

Very thing that makes you rich makes me poor

Makes me so damn poor

Money won't change it, no no
