For the Love

[Verse 1]
If I was in it for the money
I'd have a mansion on a hill by now
If I was in it for milk and honey
I'd have honeybees and a cow
If I was in it for the fame
You'd already know my name
I've only ever been in it for the love

[Verse 2]
I was born to make a loud noise
A six-string Troubadour
Like a kid who thinks he's a cowboy
With a cap, gun, and carousel horse
I keep runnin' down my dream
It runs in my bloodstream
I've only ever been in it for the love (Yeah)

[Chorus]
Love can't fill your tank or pay your rent
Oh, but love's the only reason it makes sense
If you can't put your heart into it
For the love of God, don't do it
If you're in it, you bettеr be in it for the love (Yеah)

[Verse 3]
Now, daddy was a rock 'n' roll drummer
Who suffered in a suit and tie
Yeah, that bank job did a number
It drained his spirit dry
He said, "Listen, son, learn from me
Oh, the money ain't everything"
So I've only ever been in it for the love (That's right)

[Chorus]
Love can't fill your tank or pay your rent
Oh, but love's the only reason it makes sense
If you can't put your heart into it
For the love of God, don't do it
If you're in it, you better be in it for the love (Here we go)

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Well, I'm far from makin' a fortune
But I do pretty good for myself
And I know what's most important
I got my family, and I got my health
I keep my main objective on keepin' a good perspective
I'm in it, yeah, I'm in it for the love (That's right)
If I was in it for the fame
You'd already know my name
But I've only ever been in it for the love
Mm-mm
