| 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 |
