One For The Money

He said, "I'm sorry I have to cancel the plans we made.
I got a weekend business trip back to l.a."
She drives him to the airport,
Watches till he boards the plane.
Then she hurries to a phone booth,
And cross-town a telephone rings.
She's got one for the money,
Two for the show.
One to pay for the credit cards,
And two to rock 'n roll.
One gave her a wedding ring,
And the new car that she drives.
But, two gives her the feeling she needs,
That one's money can't buy.
She arrives at the honkeytonk,
Just a little bit late.
Parks her mercedes 'round back,
'Cause her name's on the license plate.
She steps into another life,
As she walks through the door.
Then she melts into his arms
As they dance out across the floor.
And she's got one for the money,
Two for the show.
One to pay for the credit cards,
And two to rock 'n roll.
One gave her a wedding ring,
And the new car that she drives.
But, two gives her the feeling she needs,
That one's money can't buy.
Whooo-hooo-ooo.
Another wild lover's weekend
Ends too soon.
And when they open up the blinds,
It's sunday afternoon.
She wishes it could last forever.
And he's beggin' her to stay.
She's got to pull herself together.
'Cause there's a plane coming in from l.a.
Yeash, she's got one for the money,
Two for the show.
One to pay for the credit cards,
And two to rock 'n roll.
One gave her a wedding ring,
And the new car that she drives.
But, two gives her the feeling she needs,
That one's money can't buy.
And she's got one for the money,
Two for the show.
One to pay for the credit cards,
And two to rock 'n roll.
One gave her a wedding ring,
And the new car that she drives.
