There is a lie that I believed

The more that I got, the more I'd be free, free, free, free

So I've been away making the green

See, the more that I get, the more that I need, need, need, need

So pray for my, pray for my, pray for my soul

I got a, got a disease, and it's cold

Caught it so easy like the common cold, ooh-ooh

Tossing and tossing and turning around

Trying and trying to sweat it all out

Kicking the habit that's pulling me down, ooh-oh

I don't wanna be 85, singin'

"Oh, no, I think I missed it, I was chasing money"

I don't wanna be 85, singin'

"Oh, no, I got a big house, but my heart is heavy"

You can't take it with ya, and your whip ain't gon' miss ya

So wipe off that window and see the bigger picture now

I don't wanna be 85, singin'

"Oh, no, I think I missed it, I was chasing money"

Now there is a dream that I was sold

Just get all you can before you get oh-oh-oh-old

So I bought it all and took out a loan (whoo-ooh)

But now that I'm here, got nothing to show, show, show, show

So pray for my, pray for my, pray for my soul

I got a, got a disease, and it's cold

Caught it so easy like the common cold, now, ooh-ooh

Tossing and tossing and turning around

Trying and trying to sweat it all out

Kicking the habit that's pulling me down, whoo-oh

I don't wanna be 85, singin'

"Oh, no, I think I missed it, I was chasing money"

I don't wanna be 85, singin'

"Whoa, no, I got a big house, but my heart is heavy"

You can't take it with ya, and your whip ain't gon' miss ya

So wipe off that window and see the bigger picture now

I don't wanna be 85, singin'

"Whoa, no, I think I missed it, I was chasing money"

I want a life (I want a life) I cannot pay for

I want a life (I want a life) I can't afford to live without

I want a life (I want a life) I cannot pay for

I want a life (I want a life), I can't afford to be missin' out

I don't wanna be 85, singin'

"Oh, no, I think I missed it, I was chasing money"

I don't wanna be 85, singin'

"Oh, no, I got a big house, but my heart is heavy"

I don't wanna be 85 (I don't wanna be 85), singin'

"Whoa, no, I think I missed it, I was chasing money" (I was chasing money)

I don't wanna be 85, singin'

"Whoa, no, I got a big house, but my heart is heavy"

I think I missed it, I was chasing money
