Big Money Lyrics - Scarecrow - Garth Brooks

My older brother Tommy was a lineman rest his soul 

His job was hanging hot wires on them high-line power poles 

Every morning bright and early he'd climb way up in the sky 

And I never understood it so one day I asked him why 

(Chorus:) 

HE SAID IT PAYS BIG MONEY AND MAN I'M INTO THAT 

IT PAYS BIG MONEY IF YOU'RE WILLING TO TAKE A CHANCE 

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, SONNY, YOU OUGHT TO SEE MY BANK ACCOUNT 

IT PAYS BIG MONEY BUT HE SURE CAN'T SPEND IT NOW

Well, my late Uncle Charlie was this demolition hound 

He'd travel across the country blowing buildings to the ground 

He carried a case of dynamite seemed everywhere he went 

He smoked them big long cigars and he'd wink at you and grin 

(Repeat Chorus:) 

HE SAID IT PAYS BIG MONEY AND MAN I'M INTO THAT 

IT PAYS BIG MONEY IF YOU'RE WILLING TO TAKE A CHANCE 

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, SONNY, YOU OUGHT TO SEE MY BANK ACCOUNT 

IT PAYS BIG MONEY BUT HE SURE CAN'T SPEND IT NOW 

Well, now the moral of this story, boys, is don't go getting yourself killed 

Be kind to your rich relatives they just might put you in their will 

(Repeat Chorus:) 

HE SAID IT PAYS BIG MONEY AND MAN I'M INTO THAT 

IT PAYS BIG MONEY IF YOU'RE WILLING TO TAKE A CHANCE 

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, SONNY, YOU OUGHT TO SEE MY BANK ACCOUNT 

IT PAYS BIG MONEY BUT HE SURE CAN'T SPEND IT NOW 

(Chorus:)
