Money Man

[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
