Lyrics
Put Your Money Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I could go a-runnin', jumpin', reachin' for the sky (reachin'
for the sky)
That's all that I thought that it would take to buy your mind
(take to buy your mind)
Then one day, I looked the other way.
Chorus:
And, hey, did you ever see my town at sundown, all the hills
around.
Hey, put your money away. Hey, hey, put your money away. Hey,
hey, put your money away.
When somebody comes a-callin', knockin' on my door (knockin' on
my door)
Tryin' hard to sell me something that I have no use for (I have
no use for)
I push the fool inside. I take a look outside.
(Chorus)
I could go a-runnin', jumpin', reachin' for the sky (reachin'
for the sky)
That's all that I thought that it would take to buy your mind
(take to buy your mind)
Then one day, I looked the other way.
(Chorus)
