For the Money

oh, let me tell you a little story about my family
 daddy almost made a livin'
 with eighty acres and a plow
 he could have bought that place twice over
 workin' for someone in town
 oh, but you should have seen him
 in his fields at harvest time
 he'd swear the gates of heaven opened
 and he was standin' first in line
 you can't be
 you can't be in it for the money
 (for the money)
 can't be
 money comes and money goes
 you can't be
 you can't be in it for the money
 oh you've gotta satisfy your soul
 i grabbed the world when i turned eighteen
 i turned it over and i shook it hard
 i filled my pockets up with money
 but it burned a hole right through my heart
 (chorus)
 you know everybody's got a purpose
 from mendin' bones to tendin' bars
 you might say that ive found mine
 when i wrap my hands around this guitar
 and i still wonder if im crazy
 tryin to bring a dream to life
 but i look forward to tomorrow
 and i sleep pretty good at night
 (chorus)
 can't be
 you can't be in it for the money
 (for the money)
 can't be
 you can't be in it for the money
 (for the money)
