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
