I Makes Money (money Don't Make Me) Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

One, two, one, two, three, yeah 

Well, I makes money, money don't make me 

And that's the way I am and it's plain to see 

Get right for yourself, can't put you on the shelf 

Live and let live, you know it's plain enough 

There ain't a dollar in the world make me change my stuff 

Now, I met a lots of men who told me 

When they finally make their first million 

They're gonna live like kings, gonna try everything 

Gonna flatter pretty women 

If they know how to do it, why not get to it 

Instead of waiting all your life 

Your life is only doing, what you think is worth pursuing 

Instead of waiting all the time 

Well, I makes money, money don't make me 

And that's the way I am and it's plain to see 

Get right for yourself, can't put you on the shelf 

Live and let live, you know it's plain enough 

There ain't a dollar in the world that make me change my stuff 

Now if you find yourself waiting and you know you're hesitating 

Get your butt off the ground 

It ain't money or your honey and you know it's kind of funny 

When it's all boiled down 

You gonna be the man, you know you certainly can 

Just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it 

Clothes don't make the man, money won't help you stand 

Any truer than you're doin' 

Well, I makes money, money don't make me 

And that's the way I am and it's plain to see 

Get right for yourself, can't put you on the shelf 

Live and let live, you know it's plain enough 

There ain't a dollar in the world that make me change my stuff 

So you'll never find the endin', sittin' and pretending 

You're gonna do it sometime 

Keep it knocking on wood, doing exactly what you should 

Trying to save ten cents 

Keep build 'em up higher, so you can retire 

To your castle in the blue 

But you find it's all behind and it's probably slipped your mind 

And you're too pooped to toot 

I makes money, money don't make me 

And that's the way I am and it's plain to see 

Get right for yourself, can't put you on the shelf 

Live and let live, you know it's plain enough 

There ain't a dollar in the world that make me change my stuff
