Too Many Dollars Not Enough Sense Lyrics - Lynn Anderson

This world is filled with many kinds of people 

Most of them so poor they can hardly pay the rent 

Then there's another kind lots of funny people too many dollars not enough sense 

[ harmonica ] 

Rich man's son he goes away to college he has such fun no work and all play 

He's not there for gettin' any knowledge he'll have his daddy bus'ness some day 

Rich boy fails and daddy wonders what he did chewing his nails all nervous and tense 

Never figures out that the trouble was he gave the kid 

Too many dollars not enough sense 

[ harmonica ] 

Poor little poor girl young and so beautuful marries old man with foot in the grave 

Marries him for money now she's gonna spend it all 

Gonna throw away every dollar he saved 

Man wakes up one morning all useless pretty girl gone and money all spent 

Was his own fault for turning her loose with too many dollars not enough sense 

[ harmonica ] 

Indian live all life on reservation all he knows is sweatin' and toil 

White man come and dig on reservation poke around and bring 'em up oil 

Indian rich now gotta have a Cadillac him buy five and a Mercedes Benz 

Take to reservation park 'em all back to back too many dollars not enough sense 

This world is filled with many kinds of people... 

Too many dollars not enough sense
