Lyrics:

(Rivers Rutherford, Sam Tate, Annie Tate)

Ah, let me tell ya a little story about my family

Daddy almost made a living with eighty acres and a plow
He could have bought that place twice over working for someone in town
Ah, but you should have seen him
In his fields at harvest time
You? swear the gates of heaven opened
He was standing first in line

You can? be in it for the money
Money comes and money goes
You can? be in it for the money
Oh, you 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 whole right through my heart

You can? be in it for the money
Money comes and money goes
You can? be in it for the money
Oh, you gotta satisfy your soul

You know everybody? got a purpose
From mending bones to tending bar
You might say that I found mine
When I wrap my hands around this guitar
I still wonder if I? crazy
Trying to bring a dream to life
But I look forward to tomorrow
And I sleep pretty good at night

You can? be in it for the money
Money comes and money goes
You can? be in it for the money
Oh, you gotta satisfy your soul

You can? be in it for the money
You can? be in it for the money
