I Makes Money (Money Don't Make Me) Lyrics by Steve Earle
Steve Earle Lyrics
I makes money, money don't make me
That's the way I am and it's plain to see
You get right with yourself
Can't put you on a shelf
It's live and let live and it's plain enough
There ain't a dollar in the world can make me change my stuff
Now I met a lot of men who told me when they finally make their first million
Gonna live like kings, gonna try everything
Gonna flatter pretty women
If they know how to do it
Why don't they get to it instead of waitin' all their lives?
'Cause life is only doing what you think is worth pursuing
Instead of waiting all the time
Well, I makes money, money don't make me
That's the way I am and it's plain to see
You get right with yourself
Can't put you on a shelf
It's live and let live and it's plain enough
There ain't a dollar in the world can make me change my stuff
If you find yourself waiting and you know you're hesitating
Get your butt off the ground
It ain't your money or your honey, and you know it's kind of funny
When it's all boiled down
If you want to be the man, you certainly can
Just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Clothes don't make the man, money won't help you stand
Any truer than you're doin'
I makes money, money don't make me
That's the way I am and it's plain to see
Get right with yourself
Can't put you on a shelf
It's live and let live and it's plain enough
There ain't a dollar in the world can make me change my stuff
So you'll never find the endin' of just sittin' and pretending
That should do it sometimes
Keep knocking on wood, doing exactly what you should
Trying to save enough dimes
Build 'em up higher so you can retire to your castle in the blue
And you find it's all behind and it's probably slipped your mind
And you're too pooped to toot
I makes money, money don't make me
That's the way I am and it's plain to see
You get right with yourself
Can't put you on a shelf
It's live and let live and it's plain enough
There ain't a dollar in the world can make me change my stuff
