In It for the Money
Caught a lot of hell when I left home with a guitar
Had to pay rent one dollar at a time from a tip jar
Looking back now, don't know how I ever got this far
But I got this far
By the sound of the crowd when the lights kick on
And the high you get when they're singing your song
You wrote about how a heartbreak feels
Looking at the world through an old van windshield
That long road to the top ain't paved with sold-out shows
If I was in it for the money, I'da quit a long time ago
You don't keep track of the cost of the dues you're paying
You don't bitch about the bed in the Motel 6 you stay in
You won't break even if you play that show but you play it
And then you make it
By the sound of the crowd when the lights kick on
And the high you get when they're singing your song
You wrote about how a heartbreak feels
Looking at the world through an old van windshield
That long road to the top ain't paved with sold out shows
If I was in it for the money, I'da quit a long time ago
I'da quit a long time ago
I'd love to buy my mama that Cadillac
Love to make enough to pay my daddy back
Everybody's got something they'd do even if they never made a dime
And I got mine
It's the sound of the crowd when the lights kick on
And the high you get when they're singing your song
You wrote about how a heartbreak feels
Looking at the world through an old van windshield
That long road to the top ain't paved with sold out shows
If I was in it for the money, I'da quit a long time ago
I'da quit a long time ago, yeah
Had to pay rent one dollar at a time from a tip jar
Looking back now, don't know how I ever got this far
But I got this far
By the sound of the crowd when the lights kick on
And the high you get when they're singing your song
You wrote about how a heartbreak feels
Looking at the world through an old van windshield
That long road to the top ain't paved with sold-out shows
If I was in it for the money, I'da quit a long time ago
You don't keep track of the cost of the dues you're paying
You don't bitch about the bed in the Motel 6 you stay in
You won't break even if you play that show but you play it
And then you make it
By the sound of the crowd when the lights kick on
And the high you get when they're singing your song
You wrote about how a heartbreak feels
Looking at the world through an old van windshield
That long road to the top ain't paved with sold out shows
If I was in it for the money, I'da quit a long time ago
I'da quit a long time ago
I'd love to buy my mama that Cadillac
Love to make enough to pay my daddy back
Everybody's got something they'd do even if they never made a dime
And I got mine
It's the sound of the crowd when the lights kick on
And the high you get when they're singing your song
You wrote about how a heartbreak feels
Looking at the world through an old van windshield
That long road to the top ain't paved with sold out shows
If I was in it for the money, I'da quit a long time ago
I'da quit a long time ago, yeah
