Paper Money

I play the game of a rich boy
I buy everything I can
My bankroll is a foot thick
I'm a wealthy man

A million dollar reserve note
Is right there in my hand
And I can't stand to think
Well, it's all that I've got

Take away all my silver
Take away all my gold, yeah
And hand me a stack of paper
Paper money, paper money don't hold, no
Paper money don't hold

Well, you act as though you don't remember
The way it all used to be
Now one man, he locks up the money
Another man holds the key

A million dollar reserve note
Is right there in my hand
I can't stand to think
Well, it's all that I've got

You take away all my silver, yeah
Take away all my gold
And hand me a stack of paper
Paper money, paper money don't hold, no
Well, paper money don't hold

My car cost me fifteen grand
Some say I got a deal
Melt it down, I got a thousand pounds of junk
And ten dollars worth of steel

A million dollar reserve note
Is right there in my hand
And I can't stand to think
Well, it's all that I've got

So you take away all my silver
Take away all my gold
Hand me a stack of paper, yeah
Paper money, paper money don't hold, no yeah
Paper money won't hold, no

Paper money don't hold, no
Paper money won't hold, yeah
Paper money don't hold
