"It's Only Money" lyrics - VAN ZANT

Grandpa used to keep his money buried 3 feet deep in Mason jars
He forgot more times than I where he kept his stash out in the yard
He told us before he died, "boys don't do what I did"
Save enough to get you by, and go spend all the rest

It's only money
That's all it is
Harder to make it
Than it is to spend
Can't take it with ya
So don't let it get ya
It's only money

The waiter said our featured wine tonight's a California merlot
May I suggest a calamari, oysters, or the escargot
She looked at me and smiled and in those blue eyes I got lost
I said bring us one of each of them, I don't care what it costs

It's only money
That's all it is
Harder to make it
Than it is to spend
Can't take it with ya
So don't let it get ya
It's only money
OH It's only money

She found that diamond bracelet in the window of a jewelry store downtown
She said I like the way it sparkles as she kissed me and I pulled my wallet out

If it makes her happy, I don't care how much they charge
I still got a closet full of grandpa's mason jars

It's only money
That's all it is
Harder to make it
Than it is to spend
Can't take it with ya
So don't let it get ya
It's only money
Oh!

It's only money (It's only money)
That's all it is (That's all it is)
Harder to make it (Harder to make it)
Than it is to spend (Than it is to spend)
Can't take it with ya (Can't take it with ya)
So don't let it get ya (Don't let it get ya)
It's only money, money, money, money, money
OH It's only money
(Money money money)
It's only money
(Money money money)
It's only money
(Money money money)
It's only money
(Money money money)
It's only money
Oh it's only money
