Real Money Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Daddy's got a friend in Macon
The governor calls him "sir"
Me and Faylynn's like family
He'd do anything for her
Shaved slick and spit-shined
Daddy's gone in to town
The pool's empty at the motel
I hate to see the sun go down

[Verse 2]
A snuggle bear and a toothbrush
Some shirts and a paper sack
A tube of Mama's red lipstick
Hidden in the Crackerjacks
I been in the backseat all day long
Dreaming 'bout the land of kings
Tall mansions in the Georgia pines
The rustle like a black crow's wings

[Chorus]
Real money
Green and gold
All God's promises your arms can hold
(Real money)
Chariots no horse can pull
A big black Pontiac car trunk full
(Real money)
Little sister hide your pain
The clouds gonna crack and the sky's gonna rain
(Real money)

[Verse 3]
But it's dark all around the world
And I'm the only soul in bed
Just like oil through a funnel
The pictures filling up my head
Now I'm gatherin' the blankets
Just to keep out the sound
Some kinda ruckus in the Safeway lot
Daddy's with a friend downtown

[Verse 4]
And there's Mama all awash in the light
Reachin' out her hand to mine
Blink once and it's high beams
Cuttin' through the paper blinds
Faylynn's crouched on the floorboard
Daddy's walkin' kinda strange
Sayin', "Son take a long hard look
"You can't tell when it all might change"

[Chorus]
Real money
Green and gold
All God's promises that arms can hold
(Real money)
Chariots no horse can pull
A big black Pontiac car trunk full
(Real money)
Little sister hide your pain
The clouds gonna crack and the sky's gonna rain
(Real money)

[Outro]
(Real money)
Ours by law
Suckin' it up through a drugstore straw
(Real money)

(Real money)
Hard times, they're done
Hold on, Mexico, here we come
(Real money)

(Real money)
Everybody that done us right
Sure be glad that they did tonight
A little for the lame, a little for the poor
Sweet Jesus ain't no working no more
Faylynn baby, don't you cry
Daddy said every living thing must die
