About Money / © Mark Hamby
From the "All Come Home" CD

He pulled the cash from his pocket, said “Here’s twenty for the hat.”
I said, “It’s yours if you want it; I got lots more like that.”
I got a thing about money; don’t want to make it that way
Put it back in your pocket; save it for a rainy day

He called the ten in the corner, nudged the eight in the side
He threw his stick on the table, I thought he was gonna cry
I got a thing about money...

Save it for a rainy day, save it for the end of the world
Save it for a rainy day, or spend it on some pretty girl

We’re watching Monday night football, he said, “Those Packers are gonna win.”
Then the quarterback fumbles, walks off with a stupid grin
I got a thing about money...

Save it for a rainy day...

She put her hand on my knee, said, “Hon, did you bring any change?”
I said, “I really don’t know, but your hand’s well within range.”
I got a thing about money; I’m going to spend it that way
Got a hole in my pocket, welcome to that rainy day

Save it for a rainy day...
