In It for the Money

Caught a lot of hell when I left home with a guitar
Had to pay rent one dollar at a time from a tip jar
Looking back now dont know how I ever got this far
But I got this fair
By the sound of the crowd when the lights kick on
And the high you get when theyre singing your song
You wrote about how a heartbreak feels
Looking at the world through an old van windshield
That long road to the top aint paved with sold-out shows
If I was in it for the money Ida quit a long time ago
You dont keep tracks of the cost of the dues youre paying
You dont b***h about the bed in the Motel 6 you stay in
You wont break even if you play that show but you play it
And then you make it
By the sound of the crowd when the lights kick on
And the high you get when theyre singing your song
You wrote about how a heartbreak feels
Looking at the world through an old van windshield
That long road to the top aint paved with sold-out shows
If I was in it for the money Ida quit a long time ago
Ida quit a long time ago
Id love to buy my mama that Cadillac
Love the make enough to pay my daddy back
Everybodys got something they do even if they never made a dime
And I got mine
Its the sound of the crowd when the lights kick on
And the high you get when theyre singing your song
You wrote about how a heartbreak feels
Looking at the world through an old van windshield
That long road to the top aint paved with sold out shows
If Iwas in it for the money Ida quit a long time ago
Ida quit a long time ago yeah
Caught a lot of hell when I left home with a guitar
And the high you get when theyre singing your song
If I was in it for the money Ida quit a long time ago
