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

Well, it's all that I've got

Take away all my silver

Take away all my gold, yeah

And hand me a stack of paper

Paper money, paper money don't hold, no

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

A million dollar reserve note

Is right there in my hand

I can't stand to think

Well, it's all that I've got

You take away all my silver, yeah

Take away all my gold

And hand me a stack of paper

Paper money, paper money don't hold, no

Well, paper money don't hold

My car cost me fifteen grand

Some say I got a deal

Melt it down, I got a thousand pounds of junk

And ten dollars worth of steel

A million dollar reserve note

Is right there in my hand

And I can't stand to think

Well, it's all that I've got

So you take away all my silver

Take away all my gold

Hand me a stack of paper, yeah

Paper money, paper money don't hold, no yeah

Paper money won't hold, no

Paper money don't hold, no

Paper money won't hold, yeah

Paper money don't hold
