Now That Your Dollar Bills Have Sprouted Wings |
I had fourteen dollars in my inside pocket |
And twenty-two more up my sleeve |
There was cold hard cash lining up my jacket |
But I did not have a dime when I did leave |
When I got here I was carrying roses |
When I had to go, I was only holding dirt |
Well I walked in here wearing a tuxedo |
But I left wearing an old t-shirt |
They say it’s hard times, don’t I know it |
I’m sleeping on a bed made of nails |
Well I used to live way up in the penthouse |
Now I can’t even get a room in the county jail |
Now that your dollar bills have sprouted wings |
And I don’t think they’ll come around next spring |
Just like birds of prey, they will take what’s yours and fly away |
Now that your dollar bills have sprouted wings |
Well I came to town on a pile of diamonds |
Now I’m leaving on a wheelbarrow of dust |
With IOUs glued to my eyelids |
Sitting here watching my safe rust |
Watching all your coins roll down the gutter |
And all your champagne going down the sink |
Is there something that you’re trying to remember? |
Or is that string around your finger a wedding ring? |
Now that your dollar bills have sprouted wings |
And I don’t think they’ll come around next spring |
Just like birds of prey, they will take what’s yours and fly away |
Now that your dollar bills have sprouted wings |
