Story Behind the Song
Money, material things, and the highlife!
No thanks!
Keep the glitter and give me real!
Lyrics
There's nothing wrong here as far as I can see.
Good luck or bad luck you know it's all the same to me.
I take things as they come, sit back and let it be.
Don't ask for much from life, expect no guarantees.
Well money talks and the poor man walks,
But the best things in life are free.
Want the best then forget the rest.
And you can walk all over me.
Some folks will sell their soul, work their fingers to the bone.
Five cars and a swimming pool, and a million dollar home.
Me I'll take the simple life and do the best I can.
Just take me as I am, you now that money doesnt make the man.
Well money talks and the poor man walks,
But the best things in life are free.
Want the best then forget the rest.
And you can walk all over me.
You can keep your fast cars and your fancy limousines.
Neon lights and your cocaine nights, and your high class gypsy queens.
Just give me some good friends and a six string on my knee.
A home town girl who's parts are real, that's good enough for me.
Well money talks and the poor man walks,
But the best things in life are free.
Want the best then forget the rest.
And you can walk all over me.
