Money from dirt
Verse 1
I need to hit the highway
to look for a place -- to work.
There’s not a lot of profit
in squeezing dollars --from dirt.
I know your roots --run long and deep.
You grew up in this place
but your heart-- belongs with me
and i've got to --move away.
Chorus
You can't squeeze money -- from this dirt.
You can't sail -- a sinking ship.
You can't keep trying -- to climb a hill
when every step you take -- you slip.
This life's a long, long uphill climb
with a rapid -- downhill slide.
Baby it's up to you -- to choose
if we'll leave --or say goodbye.
Verse 2
The sun beats down -- long and hard
on this barren stretch of earth.
I watched momma -- bury dad
then live as if she were dirt.
I swear i'll never do to you
the things -- my old man did to her
so darling it's up to you
to decide -- what love is worth.
Chorus
Verse 3
I hear there's work in Houston
for a man -- who has my skills.
I may never be wealthy
but we could afford -- some frills;
maybe -- have us a decent home
with some-- money to put away.
So darling -- it's up to you
if you're coming -- or you stay.
Bridge
Honey --I know that you love me
but you'll learn to hate me -- if I stay.
The sun's going down -- on this old town
so let's leave -- before it's too late.
