Folding Money

(الألبوم: Are You Ready For The Big Show? - 2001)

When I was just a boy, my granddaddy took me to town one afternoon
He drove an LTD, wore a big white Stetson, and two-tone cowboy boots
He said, son "Here goes" and handed me a twenty just to see the look on my face
He said, "Don't tell your mama nothing about it, don't spend it all in one place"

You see it takes folding money to get the deal done
Folding money to have a little fun
Folding money to pay a few bills
Eat a steak dinner, and cure a couple ills
Folding money, you need a little stash
Some greenback dollars and cold hard cash
Save it for a rainy day or go away a little bit, son
It takes folding money... to get the deal done

Ever since the day I learned to earn a dollar I've been taking his advice to heart
'Cause when a man finds the courage to keep his cash, some romance is bound to start
Now romance is just like money... you can always get more if you've got it
And let me tell you friends, I'm a lot more handsome with a C note in my pocket

You see it takes folding money to get the deal done
Folding money to have a little fun
Folding money to pay a few bills
Make a girl dance, and cure a couple ills
Folding money, you need a little stash
Some greenback dollars and cold hard cash
Save it for a rainy day or go away a little bit, son
It takes folding money... to get the deal done

It's a pain in the back, it's a cold hard fact, gets to everybody sooner or later
You can give it to a charity and in some disparity, stock up your refrigerator
Couldn't marry it or date it, it'll kill you if you let it, you can blow it with nothing to show
It will make your wallet fatter, but the truth of the matter's can't take it with you when you go

You see it takes folding money to get the deal done
Folding money to have a little fun
Folding money to pay a few bills
Spread a little 'round, and cure a couple ills
Folding money, you need a little stash
Some greenback dollars and cold hard cash
Save it for a rainy day or go away a little bit, son
It takes folding money... to get the deal done
