Scared Money

We're headed to the Paddock, it's almost automatic

Leaving a trail of shit from the sale

Scootin'-walkin'-heel-boots down Exchange Avenue

The hell was nearly raisin' itself

It's 1982

The market's through the roof

We're living plenty high on the swine

And I'm finally sitting pretty

In Oklahoma City, ain't nothing gonna stop me tonight

Scared money don't make nothin'

Nothin' in life will come free

Grab what you can carry while the gettin's still good

Or nothin's all you're ever gonna be

Born in a boom town

Been up and been down, and I ain't afraid to do it again

I tried to go to school

Thought I was too cool, and that's where that story ends

Put in my application on the Anadarko Basin

There's fortune right beneath your feet

I walked out of class and straight to the patch

'Cause no one ever paid me to read

Scared money don't make nothin'

Nothin' in life will come free

Grab what you can carry while the gettin's still good

Or nothin's all you're ever gonna be

Scared money don't make nothin'

Nothin' in life will come free

Grab what you can carry while the gettin's still good

Or nothin's all you're ever gonna be

Scared money don't make nothin'

Nothin' in life will come free

Grab what you can carry while the gettin's still good

Or nothin's all you're ever gonna be
