Lynn Anderson - Too Many Dollars, Not Enough Sense Lyrics

This world is filled with
Many kinds of people most of them so poor
They can hardly pay the rent
Then there's another kind
Lots of funny people
Too many dollars not enough sense

Rich man's son he goes away to college
He has such fun no work and all play

He's not there for getting any knowledge
He'll have his daddy bus'ness some day
Rich boy fails and daddy wonders what he did

Chewing his nails all nervous and tense
Never figures out
That the trouble was he gave the kid
Too many dollars not enough sense

Poor little poor girl young and so beautuful
Marries old man with foot in the grave
Marries him for money
Now she's gonna spend it all

Gonna throw away every dollar he saved
Man wakes up one morning all useless
Pretty girl gone and money all spent
Was his own fault for turning her loose
With too many dollars not enough sense

Indian live all life on reservation
All he knows is sweatin' and toil
White man come and dig on reservation
Poke around and bring 'em up oil

Indian rich now gotta have a Cadillac him
Buy five and a Mercedes Benz
Take to reservation
Park 'em all back to back

Too many dollars not enough sense
This world is filled with
Many kinds of people
Too many dollars not enough sense
