Lyrics
I Did It For The Money Chuck Hughes Ascap
You're comin' to me bitchin' about the thing I did
You're actin' kinda crazy you really flipped your lid
Now you're askin' me why I did what I do
But you know god damn well that you'd a done it too
I told you I was gonna you knew that I would
I went ahead and did it I did it real good
I'm tellin' you right now that this ain't the end
'Cause if I get the chance I'm doin it again
I did it for the money, it wasn't for the fun
I still ain't seen no money even though the damn thing's done
I did it for the money, yeah I went for the bread
And now it's gone and done a little number on my head
I thought it over good for a second or two
Anyone could see it was quite allright to do
I asked a couple people if they thought I should
They both said if they were me you know damn well they would
Everybody's got a little thing that they do
To make a chunk a' cash just to help to see 'em through
I can smell the money, you know I'm so glad
That damn little thing I did, it don't seem so bad.
