In It for the Money - Jameson Rodgers

Caught a lot of hell when I left home with a guitar

Had to pay rent one dollar at a time from a tip jar

Looking back now don't know how I ever got this far

But I got this fair

By the sound of the crowd when the lights kick on

And the high you get when they're singing your song

You wrote about how a heartbreak feels

Looking at the world through an old van windshield

That long road to the top ain't paved with sold- out shows

If I was in it for the money I'da quit a long time ago

You don't keep tracks of the cost of the dues you're paying

You don't b***h about the bed in the Motel 6 you stay in

You won't break even if you play that show but you play it

And then you make it

By the sound of the crowd when the lights kick on

And the high you get when they're singing your song

You wrote about how a heartbreak feels

Looking at the world through an old van windshield

That long road to the top ain't paved with sold- out shows

If I was in it for the money I'da quit a long time ago

I'da quit a long time ago

I'd love to buy my mama that Cadillac

Love the make enough to pay my daddy back

Everybody's got something they do even if they never made a dime

And I got mine

It's the sound of the crowd when the lights kick on

And the high you get when they're singing your song

You wrote about how a heartbreak feels

Looking at the world through an old van windshield

That long road to the top ain't paved with sold out shows

If I was in it for the money I'da quit a long time ago

I'da quit a long time ago yeah

Caught a lot of hell when I left home with a guitar

And the high you get when they're singing your song

If I was in it for the money I'da quit a long time ago
