What Will You Be Building

What will you be building when you have to go
That is the only thing that I need to know
What slip of the hard hand will close the big show
And what will you be building when you have to go

And there's very few reasons poor people have found
To grow any older is to run with the hounds
And hounds and poor people make money go round
And money makes favors and fevers and clowns

So I'll right my name on a big piece of paper
Yeah, I'll right down my secrets I'll get me an acre
And I'll build me a fortune just to pay for a savior
And I'll empty my pockets at last for my maker

What will you be building when you have to go
That is the only thing that I need to know
One slip of the hard hand will close the big show
And what will you be building when you have to go
