New Money

Aye

Grew up in a southern dimension

Where double wides sat next door to mansions

Bad lady walking by the prep school

Rich girls by the cheap motel pool

Seventeen, didn't have a dollar made

Got married in the magnolia shade

They said we shouldn't, so we did

Started chasing dreams, trying to make some babies and

New money, like it's gold, honey

So maybe our kids can be old money

Down the road, who knows

Might get your new kitchen but you can't take it with you

When you go, honey, radio money

Ain't got nothing on Jesus bringing that soul money

Said all I know is you and him loved me when I didn't have no money

Girl, you got me on a roll, honey

I don't need no money

Nashville made us even broker

Two jobs, still playing the joker

In a cover band down on Broadway

Guess I learned to dream the hard way

And so will my sons and so will my daughters

'Cause they get good night kisses from a father like mine

Who followed his heart

Instead of the shine and

New money, like it's gold, honey

So maybe our kids can be old money

Down the road, who knows

Might get your new kitchen but you can't take it with you

When you go, honey, radio money

Ain't got nothing on Jesus bringing that soul money

Said all I know is you and him loved me when I didn't have no money

No problems, one kiss and, baby, you solve 'em

Everything is better with you, and it ain't got nothing to do with that

New money

Nah, don't know what I'd do without you, honey

All I know is you and Jesus loved me when I didn't have

New money, like it's gold, honey

So maybe our kids can be old money

Down the road, who knows

Might get your new kitchen but you can't take it with you

When you go, honey, radio money

Ain't got nothing on Jesus bringing that soul money

Said all I know is you and him loved me when I didn't have no money

Girl, you got me on a roll, honey

I don't need no money
