Do NOT MIX!© 2001 Jesse Slokum(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...) 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!!! |
