Clay Walker - Money Ain`t Everything слова песни
(Kim Williams/Clay Walker/Kent Blazey)
Let`s go to Louisiana boys
Way down in Louisiana where the moss and cypress grew
You`d find old Jack in a shotgun shack
In the back of the black bayou
Some folks called him crazy but I knew better than that
He kept a hundred dollar bill tucked away in the brim
Of his dirty old cowboy hat
Jack told me a story when I was ten years
He said there was once a fool tried to swim this swamp
With his back weighted down with gold
He said you should`ve seen that alligator smile
He had a meal fit for a king
But he ened up on my table son, money ain`t everything
He said there`s only one way into this world
And one way out it`s true
You either eat the alligator
Or he`s gonna eat you
There`s people livin` in a high-rise
That`ll never hear a robin sing
What good is first place when you`re in a rat race
Money ain`t everything
Little Maggie May lay dying, her heart was about to go
When her daddy found a sack on the porch out back
With a half a million dollars in gold
They still talk about the stranger who saved her life that spring
No name on the note but someone wrote, money ain`t everything
He said there`s only one way into this world
And one way out it`s true
You either eat the alligator
Or he`s gonna eat you
There`s people livin` in a high-rise
That`ll never hear a robin sing
What good is first place when you`re in a rat race
Money ain`t everything
No name on the note but I know who wrote, money ain`t everything
