Life Changing Money

15 same color as the grass

I was mowing just to save up cash

That summer I bet I cut close to a thousand acres

Started putting back twenties in a Red Wing box

Wanted that K5 sitting on the lot

Turned 16 had just enough to go there and sign the papers

To most, it didn't sound like much

But to me back then it

Was life-changing money

Just a few dollars and dimes

It ain't life-changing money

But it damn sure changed mine

'Cause just like that wasn't nothing the same

I was running them roads all over the place

With that hard-earned, turn the page and everything in life-changing money

Momma said I'd find one like her

Took a couple close calls and while to find her

They say when you know, you know and there was no doubt about her

Two years later going store to store

To find one she'd like and one I could afford

That little bit of cash, I threw down on that glass counter

Was life-changing money

Just a few dollars and dimes

It ain't life-changing money

But it damn sure changed mine

'Cause just like that wasn't nothing the same and

She was gonna have a new last name

With that hard-earned, turn the page and everything in life-changing money

Life-changing money

I remember that morning one Sunday

First time I felt a little bit of faith

It wasn't them twenties in the plate

But what they meant to me that day

Was life-changing money

Just a few dollars and dimes

It ain't life-changing money

But it damn sure changed mine

'Cause just like that wasn't nothing the same and

First time it felt good to give away

That hard-earned, turn the page and everything in life-changing money

It ain't life-changing money
