Fifty Bucks Lyrics - Singles - The Matinee

they say that money makes a man change 

i'll be fine, i've got fifty left to my name 

don't worry next round it's on me boys 

line 'em up, drink 'em down hope you enjoy 

i don't care for money much, it don't care for me 

mother always told me that the best stuff's always free 

if you care to join me i could use the company 

i got fifty bucks and it's not coming home with me 

some people say that i'm a sucker 

for a girl with a smile like my mother 

they say i'm spending too much on her 

but damn, take a look - can you blame me 

i don't care for money much, it don't care for me 

father always told me that it sure don't grow on trees 

if you care to join me well i'll fix you up a drink 

i got fifty bucks and it's not coming home with me 

so i raise my glass 

i dedicate this next one to the good old working class 

i don't care for money much, it don't care for me 

one day i might make some bucks, 'till then this way i'll be 

sitting with the likes of you waiting for my break 

i got fifty bucks but it's not coming home with me 

i go t nothing left, looks like they got the best of me
