Making Money - Ben Rector

Making money, it isn’t easy

And it sure won’t make you happy

So I think it’s funny

We’re so concerned with making money

And money won’t keep folks from grieving

And it won’t stop love from leaving

So here’s my two cents

What’s the use in making money

And I know that life ain’t cheap

And not all good things are free

But there is no enough and no too much

And it seems so strange to me

I just think it’s funny

We’re so concerned with making money

I make my living singing love songs

That I made up 'cause I love songs

But folks believe 'em

So I’m receiving paper money

Don’t get me wrong, I love my lady

And I probably wouldn’t trade her

But life’s no better

With debts or debtors making money

And I know that life ain’t cheap

And not all good things are free

But there is no enough and no too much

And it seems so strange to me

I just think it’s funny

We’re so concerned with making money

Everybody’s got their reasons

Finer wines or fairer seasons

If we’re truthful

We know we’re fools for making money
