Follow The Money

(album: The Blues Don't Lie - 2022)

When the numbers don't add up
How can one man have that much luck
Mark the cards, load the dice
Everybody's got a price

Follow the money
See where it goes
Follow the money
That's all you need to know
Shady business smelling funky
Follow the money

They know he's guilty of the crime
Ain't no way that he's doing the time
Gave the judge a secret handshake
Cold hard cash is all is takes

Follow the money
See where it goes
Follow the money
That's all you need to know
Looks too good, smells funky
Follow the money

Fine looking woman with a fat old man
Might be hard to understand
He knows what is going on
Be by his side till it's all gone

Follow the money
See where it goes
Follow the money
That's all you need to know
Fine looking thing calling him honey
Follow the money

Now Buddy you know
He lost the vote but he won the race
Got the whole town on the take
They're in his pocket, they're on his side
Everybody gets a piece of the pie

Follow the money
Follow the money
Follow the money
Follow the money
If it looks too good, smelling funky
Follow the money

Well
I've been trying
Buddy, you know
Follow the money
Well...
