Paper Money

I play the game of a rich boy I buy everything I can My bankroll is a foot thick I'm a wealthy man A million dollar reserve note is right there in my hand And I can't stand to think it's all that I've got Take away all my silver Take away all my gold And hand me a stack of paper Paper money don't hold. Paper money don't hold Well, you act as though you don't remember The way it all used to be Now one man, he locks up the money Another man holds the key My car cost me fifteen grand Some say I got a deal Melt it down, I've got a thousand pounds of junk And ten dollars worth of steel
