Bag Full Of Money
(McGuinn/Levy)
Floating I'm floating on down
through the sky
Never had no ambition to learn how to
fly
I'll be glad when it's over and ready
to land
with this bag full of money I've got in
my hand
Oh I grew up believing in Jesse and
Frank
cause I never had nothin' or noone to
thank
and I came pretty close to unloadin' a
bank
but I was saved by my draft board who
made me a yank
Floating I'm floating...
And in the 101st they busted your
hump
but they taught me a man isn't always a
chump
In the course of Korea I learned how to
jump
In the card game of life I was holding a
trump
Floating I'm floating...
If you can't get a job and they
think you're insane
If the years of your youth have been
washed down the drain
And you wake up some mornin' with
nothin' but pain
It was then I decided to grab me a plane
Floating I'm floating...
With all of my training it wasn't
too tough
Now I'm through taking orders and all
of their guff
Gonna buy a Rolls Royce and some luxury
stuff
Cause a veteran's pension ain't nearly
enough
Floating I'm floating...
