(Money Buys You TIME)
...or...
Drive
Around & - PLEASE DON'T - DRINK
{song is listed under all 3 titles...}
(Written - more or less - on the Group W Bench
sometime in the past fifteen years, during summertime,
when people got fancy trucks jacked-up suspension on
them huge balloon off-road tires...and nothing to do...
't'was the year the week-end "rallying" of such behemoths
peaked here in IU Land, a college town surround by limestone
quarries - the Salem deposit - and farm fields + the Uplands
as these here hills are known...)
Chorus
Well, money buys you time...TIME makes you money -
Money ain't nothing funny...when it takes your life!
Now Money hides the Crime...Crime takes your money,
Money ain't nothing funny...when it runs your life!
Like a yacht on the ocean, with its up and down motion
Fortunes float or sink - your boat's run aground...
Money upon the table is all that buys you SABLE
Or, a stole of mink - but, none can be found
Well, money buys you time...(chorus)
So, you curse your luck and hide, or, you buy a truck and ride
You can't even think - such a lonesome sound...
With one hand on the throttle, the other holds a bottle
Drive around and DRINK - drink and DRIVE AROUND!!!
Bridge:
Well, I know you'd like to be on a cushion
With your ever-lovin' friends all around you,
Yet, you STILL won't admit it!
So, you say back to me, All the pushin'
And the shovin' - it never ends!" It sure has you
SCREAMING, "I just don't get it!!!
Well, money buys you time...(chorus)
So, you curse your luck and hide, or, you buy a truck and ride
You can't even think - such a lonesome sound...
With one hand on the throttle, the other holds a bottle
Drive around and DRINK - drink and DRIVE AROUND!!!
Drive around and DRINK - drink and DRIVE AROUND!!!
Drive around and DRINK - drink and DRIVE AROUND!!!
