Lyrics Too Many Dollars, Not Enough Sense - Lynn Anderson

Too Many Dollars, Not Enough Sense

This world is filled with many kinds of people
Most of them so poor
They can hardly pay the rent
Then there’s another kind
Lots of funny people
Too many dollars not enough sense
Rich man’s son
He goes away to college
He has such fun
No work and all play
He’s not there for getting any knowledge
He’ll have his daddy bus’ness some day
Rich boy fails
And daddy wonders what he did
Chewing his nails all nervous and tense
Never figures out
That the trouble was he gave the kid
Too many dollars not enough sense
Poor little poor girl
Young and so beautuful
Marries old man with foot in the grave
Marries him for money
Now she’s gonna spend it all
Gonna throw away every dollar he saved
Man wakes up one morning all useless
Pretty girl gone and money all spent
Was his own fault for turning her loose
With too many dollars not enough sense
Indian live all life on reservation
All he knows is sweatin' and toil
White man come
And dig on reservation
Poke around and bring 'em up oil
Indian rich now
Gotta have a Cadillac him
Buy five and a Mercedes Benz
Take to reservation
Park 'em all back to back
Too many dollars not enough sense
This world is filled with many kinds of people…
Too many dollars not enough sense
