It's Only Money Lyrics - Van Zant

Grandpa used to keep his money 

Buried three foot deep in mason jars 

He forgot more times than not 

Where he left it stashed out in the yard 

He told us before he died 

?Boys, don't do what I did 

Save enough to get you by 

And go spend all the rest? 

It?s only money, that's all it is 

Harder to make it than it is to spend 

Can't take it with ya, so don't let it get ya 

It?s only money, yeah 

The waiter said, ?Our featured wine 

Tonight?s a California Merlot 

May I suggest the calamari 

Oysters or the escargot?? 

She looked at me and smiled 

And in those blue eyes I got lost 

I said bring us one of each of them 

I don't care what it costs 

It?s only money, that's all it is 

Harder to make it than it is to spend 

Can't take it with ya, so don't let it get ya 

It?s only money, oh, it?s only money 

She found that diamond bracelet 

In the window of a jewelry store downtown, oh, no 

She said I like the way it sparkles 

As she kissed me and I pulled my wallet out, yes, I did 

If it makes her happy 

I don't care how much they charge 

I still got a closet full of grandpa?s mason jars 

It?s only money, that's all it is 

Harder to make it than it is to spend 

Can't take it with ya, so don't let it get ya 

It?s only money 

Oh, it?s only money, that's all it is 

Harder to make it than it is to spend 

Can't take it with ya, so don't let it get ya 

It?s only money, money, money, money 

Oh, it?s only money 

It?s only money 

It?s only money 

It?s only money, oh, it?s only money
