Married for Money

[Verse 1]
Everyone told her he was too much older
There was nothing in that town to hold her
Nothing but a trailer, nothing but a mill
If she'd have listened to them she'd be there still
But now she's out of the shadow of that mill's smokestack
She married for money and she never looked back

[Verse 2]
She won't answer the phone when her friends try to call
She wonders if they ever were her friends at all
All they ever told her was, you're just like us
You don't drive to work, you only ride the bus
But now the world looks so pretty from her Cadillac
She married for money and she never looked back

[Bridge]
Married for money, she ain't the first
She ain't the blessed, she ain't the cursed
Tell me, honey what would you say
If the very same chance came your way?

[Verse 3]
Gold always shines and loves always fades
Don't matter much when you pull down the shades
Thinking of her trailer that the wind blew through
While she's lying in bed with a job to do
She pulls one more cigarette out from her pack
She married for money and she never looked back

[Bridge]
Married for money, she ain't the first
She ain't the blessed, she ain't the cursed
Tell me, honey what would you say
If the very same chance came your way?

[Verse 4]
She could always see where her life was heading
Always knew she was giving up or getting
A choice gets made and something occurs
Still it hurts a little less when that choice is yours
You don't complain if your train stays on the track
She married for money and she never looked back

[Outro]
You don't complain if your train stays on the track
She married for money and she never looked back
