Another Dollar - Chris Knight

I use to know a man.

He was happy all the time

If you needed some help.

He’d give you his last dime

But I’m as child of the times.

That don’t work for me

'Cause when I walk into the store.

I want everything I see

Everybody says that if you want to get ahead

If you want to be happy.

Got to make some more bread

I don’t know if that’s right.

Don’t know what I believe

Cause the more money I got.

The more I need

Another day another dollar

Another day more money’s all that matters

Every day you hear me holler

I need some cash in my pocket to make me feel better

I wonder how I’d feel.

If I gave half my pay

To the poor I see standing on the street everyday

Well I think about it some, but not that much

See I just ain’t got the time.

Too busy chasing a buck

I walk through this world of loneliness and greed

I’ll never make enough money to get me what I need

If it can’t buy love and can’t buy peace of mind

Then I guess a million bucks ain’t worth a poor man’s dime
