Money Man

Lyrics

[Intro: Johnny Van Zant] This song goes out to all the money men [Verse: Johnny Van Zant] He drives around in a fancy car Smokes those long cuban cigars He don't know how to play guitar He can't sing but still the pretty girls think he's a star [Spoken Word 1: Randall Hall] We play music got families to feed Ain't good with numbers and he knows we can't read If we get a dollar you know he gets three It ain't hard to figure out it's as simple as can be [Refrain 1: Johnny Van Zant] Don't ask me, ask the money man [Spoken Word 2: Randall Hall] These boys are living in a fantasy land I just keep 'em on the road so they can pay the money man I'll be long gone before they understand My promises are strong like a road made out of sand [Refrain 2: Johnny Van Zant] I want to be your money man [Spoken Word 3: Randall Hall] My mortgage is picked up by the band [Refrain 2: Johnny Van Zant] I want to be your money man [Spoken Word 4: Randall Hall] The boys, oh they're sleeping out in the van [Refrain 1: Johnny Van Zant] Don't ask me, ask the money man [Spoken Word 5: Randall Hall] You boys are living in fantasy land You signed the dotted line I'm taking all I can Your money's looking good in my retirement plan That's just the way it is when you're playing in a band [Bridge: Johnny Van Zant] That's my money man down on his knees He ain't praying but he damn sure ought to be He's at a place where money doesn't grow on trees And all his prison buddies doing more than shoot the breeze [Refrain 3: Johnny Van Zant (Randall Hall)] How does it feel no money man (Not too good) What did you do with my money man (Well I a... Well a you know a) How does it feel to be a honey man Are you sure that you're still a man? [Outro: (Randall Hall), Johnny Van Zant] (Aw your dressed up like a little girl) Just shootin' the breeze down on your knees Money man, oh money man
