"They Won't Hang Around" lyrics

"They Won't Hang Around"

I remember when I had it all
Fancy clothes and a big old house
Drinking liquor, partied all night with my friends, oh yes, I did
When I fall, when I fall
Well, I know just when I hit the ground
Oh, somebody tell me

They, they won't be there
I know, not without money
The show, it must go on without
Money, honeys and friends

They won't, they won't
They won't hang around
They won't, they won't
Miss you when you're down
They won't, they won't
They won't hang around
When you're down

I remember how it felt to win, yeah
You see, lately, I've been so low
Drowning in my sins, oh yes, I have
You see, it's all about the dollar
That funky green color
In your hand, oh yeah

They, they won't be there
I know, not without money
The show, it must go on without
Money, honeys and friends

They won't, they won't
They won't hang around
They won't, they won't
Miss you when you're down
They won't, they won't
They won't hang around
When you're down

Hey, little baby, what you crying for?
Yeah, you spent all your money, go and make some more
And all your little friends, let 'em run away
Run away, run away
Hey, little mama, what you crying for?
Yeah, you spent all your money, go and make some more
And all your little friends, let 'em run away
Run away, run away

They won't hang around
They won't, they won't
Miss you when you're down
They won't, they won't
They won't hang around
When you're down

They won't hang around
When you're down
They won't hang around
When you're down
They won't hang around
When you're down
