Money In His Hand Lyrics

and I just can't get this off my mind

my voice it yells inside

It tells me all the time

that I could leave right now

oh, it tears me up to see this place

green and a machine washed grey



but all we know is this...



I been trying for the past 4 years

broken lie to get this here

it's not the heart that makes the man,

it's the money in his hand

it's been a struggle for the past few nights

I have to quit to realize,

that I can waste not time on it

in case this is all I get



one year, one month, and seven days

to lose the love it takes

and grow plastic from my hands

so I can leave right now

oh, it dares me up to see this place

greening a machine wash gray



with all the shine and ritz...



I been trying for the past 4 years

broken lie to get this here

it's not the heart that makes the man,

it's the money in his hand

it's been a struggle for the past few nights

I have to quit to realize,

that I can waste not time on it

in case this is all I get



I been trying for the past 4 years

broken lie to get this here

it's not the heart that makes the man,

it's the money in his hand

it's been a struggle for the past few nights

I have to quit to realize,

that I can waste not time on it

in case this is all I get



I get...
