WHERE DOES MY MONEY GO?
I WORK ALL WEEK TO EARN ALL THE MONEY I CAN
AND I THINK ABOUT THE THINGS I'M GONNA BUY
THEN PAYDAY COMES AND I FEEL LIKE A WEALTHY MAN
BUT IT DOESN'T LAST NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY.
JUST LIKE THE RIVER FLOWS
THAT'S HOW MY MONEY GOES
HERE TODAY AND GONE TOMORROW
SOME I EARN AND SOME I BORROW
WHERE DOES MY MONEY GO?
IT DOWN THAT RIVER FLOW
AND IS THAT RIVER BIG AND IT TAKES MY MONEY QUICK.
I PUT ASIDE SOME MONEY SO I HAVE A BIT TO SPARE
AND WATCH MY SAVINGS GROW FROM DAY TO DAY
THEN MY CAR BREAKS DOWN AND NEEDS A BIG REPAIR
AND IN ONE AFTERNOON MY SAVINGS MELT AWAY.
JUST LIKE THE RIVER FLOWS
THAT'S HOW MY MONEY GOES
HERE TODAY AND GONE TOMORROW
SOME I EARN AND SOME I BORROW
WHERE DOES MY MONEY GO?
IT DOWN THAT RIVER FLOW
AND IS THAT RIVER BIG AND IT TAKES MY MONEY QUICK
MY KIDS ARE OUT OF SCHOOL
THEY'RE OUT ON THEIR OWN
I FEEL SO HAPPY I COULD SHOUT
UNTIL ONE AFTERNOON A VOICE SOUNDS ON THE PHONE:
"HEY, DAD, CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME OUT."
JUST LIKE THE RIVER FLOWS
THAT'S HOW MY MONEY GOES
HERE TODAY AND GONE TOMORROW
SOME I EARN AND SOME I BORROW
WHERE DOES MY MONEY GO?
IT DOWN THAT RIVER FLOW
AND IS THAT RIVER BIG AND IT TAKES MY MONEY QUICK
