Jon Batiste - BIG MONEY Lyrics

Jon Batiste Lyrics

"BIG MONEY"

You can buy a house, but you can't buy a home
You can be surrounded and still be alone
Oh, Lord
You can be living the life but not living the dream
It seems
Mama said, "Boy, don't you be no dummy
Everybody chasin' that big, big money" (Big money)

You might have got a horse, don't mean you can ride
You might have got a plane, but that don't make you fly
Oh, Lord
You can be living the life but not living the dream
It seems
And Mama said, "Boy, don't be a dummy
Everybody chasin' that big, big money" (Big money)

Nah, might as well live for something you can feel
Might as well live for something real
Nah, might as well live for something you can feel
Might as well live for something real
You can't take it with you 'cause there wasn't nothing with you before
Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, same old, same old, same old thing
Big money

You can buy a song, don't mean you can sing
And you can win it all and still lose everything
Mama said, "Boy, don't you be no dummy
Everybody chasin' that big, big money" (Big money)
Don't be a knuckle head or bobble head dummy
Everybody chasin' that big, big money

Nah, might as well live for something you can feel
Might as well live for something real
Nah, might as well live for something you can feel
Might as well live for something real
