Garth Brooks - Big Money lyrics

Album: Scarecrow (2001)

My older brother Tommy was a lineman rest his soul
His job was hanging hot wires on them high-line power poles
Every morning bright & early he would climb way up in the sky
And I never understood it so one day I asked him why

(Chorus:)

HE SAID IT PAYS BIG MONEY AND MAN I´M INTO THAT
IT PAYS BIG MONEY IF YOU´RE WILLING TO TAKE A CHANCE
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, SONNY, YOU OUGHT TO SEE MY BANK ACCOUNT
IT PAYS BIG MONEY BUT HE SURE CAN´T SPEND IT NOW

Well, my late Uncle Charlie was this demolition hound
He would travel across the country blowing buildings to the ground
He carried a case of dynamite seemed everywhere he went
He smoked them big long cigars & he would wink at you & grin

(Repeat Chorus:)

HE SAID IT PAYS BIG MONEY AND MAN I´M INTO THAT
IT PAYS BIG MONEY IF YOU´RE WILLING TO TAKE A CHANCE
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, SONNY, YOU OUGHT TO SEE MY BANK ACCOUNT
IT PAYS BIG MONEY BUT HE SURE CAN´T SPEND IT NOW

Well, now the moral of this story, boys, is don´t go getting yourself killed
Be kind to your rich relatives they just might put you in their will

(Repeat Chorus:)

HE SAID IT PAYS BIG MONEY AND MAN I´M INTO THAT
IT PAYS BIG MONEY IF YOU´RE WILLING TO TAKE A CHANCE
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, SONNY, YOU OUGHT TO SEE MY BANK ACCOUNT
IT PAYS BIG MONEY BUT HE SURE CAN´T SPEND IT NOW

(Chorus:)

IT PAYS BIG MONEY HAVING FOOLISH KIN
IT PAYS BIG MONEY GUESS I OWE IT ALL TO THEM
LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING, SONNY, TAKE ALOOK AT THIS BANK ACCOUNT
IT PAYS BIG MONEY LET´S ALL SPEND SOME OF IT NOW
