Ain't No Money        (Rodney Crowell)


Every day now my friends all say
My ship is sailing, could be any day
Any day now it might not feel so blue
My baby tells me stop and look around
If you ain't careful boy you're trouble-bound
Run home for cover and you might not find them there

She said there ain't no money in just running around
You can't make your money from staying at home
Yeah and there ain't no future in the way that it feels today

Baby there ain't no money, baby there ain't no money
Baby there ain't no money in the ones that you really love

No running around, staying at home

I try to tell 'em baby straight and true
No love no money tells you what to do
You're born to ramble baby, that's what I was too
Just breaking even, even if I move
Old lucky seven's got its hold on you
I got your number baby aby way you move

Baby there ain't no money and that's for sure
Ain't no money behind those doors
There ain't no trouble a poor man won't go through

Baby there ain't no money, baby there ain't no money
Baby there ain't no money in the ones that you really love
