Money Talks (C. Lakeland, J.J. Cale)
Money talks, it'll tell you a story Money talks, says strange things Money talks, very loudly You'd be surprised, the friends you can buy, with small change They say, it's the root of all evil They say, gold is the king Money talks, you'd better believe it All that gold, don't mean a thing Rich people, hear those pockets jingle Spare change, hear the down-and-outers cry Money talks, they tip-toe up behind you Steal what they can, off the cuff or on the sly Money talks Money talks Money talks Money talksListe
Losers (C. Lakeland, J.J. Cale)
Losers, we're just losers Exclusive club that we're in Losers, we're just losers Why don't losers ever win Came in this morning to spread the word around Nobody wants to hear what a loser's putting down Losers, we're just losers Why don't losers ever win Been out wanderin', bad luck all around Can't you help a winner get up off the ground Losers, we're just losers Why don't losers ever winListe
Hard times, it's about to get me Hard times, they hurt my hands Hard times, it took my woman Hard times, lead her to a richer man Caught in the middle of some fool's advice If you work real hard, you get a piece of the pie Can't you hear that laughing No, the jokes don't end Consider my resources, it's a hard time to eat Hard times, it's rough all around Hard times, it's all gonna end Hard times, just thinking about it Consider my resources, it's a hard time to eat Hard times Hard times Hard timesListe
One drink of whisky, one drink of gin One drink of vodka and I told my friends Things don't seem quite like they used to As reality leaves, so does the blues One toke of reefer, a little cocaine One shot of morphine and things begin to change Things don't seem quite like they used to As reality leaves, so does the blues Up around the hill, back down again I've been up on top, don't bother, my friend Things don't seem quite like they used to As reality leaves, so does the bluesListe

I got myself together, got my tie on straight Downtown, takin' care of business on the street Glen D.'s got that old piano on the roll Blues is his bag, he's a funky soul Tim Drummond's on bass, Jim Keltner's on the drums They'll put it right on you for a shot of rhum I'll tell you right now it's a funky beat Downtown, takin' care of business on the street We ain't very good but that's beside the point We're all right here trying to rock this joint All mama's children and the Spooner too Trying to connect with you Christine Lakeland and Jimmy Karstein He's a rhythm fool, she's a guitar queen Let me tell you, my friend Richard is hot on the beat Downtown, takin' care of business on the street Oh, climb on board, Chad Hailey running 'round It's that Ashworth, he's doing a Dixie sound Hurry up mama 'cause we're all gonna meet Downtown, takin' care of business on the streetListe
Well, you can talk to the governor, talk to a prince Talk to a preacher or the president Some people lie, some people lie and deceive When they say one thing, they mean something else completely I had me a woman, loved me to begin Two days later she was with another man Some people lie, some people lie and deceive But sometime later, they'll get theirs, yes sirree Well, I bought me a new car, a lemon no doubt The wheels fell off, the salesman he was out People lie, people lie and deceive They say one thing, they mean something else completely The bottom line, you understand When some people talk, you can't believe what they're saying People lie, people lie and deceive They say one thing, they mean something else completelyListe
Beating down the pavement, looking for a job I'll do anything, except steal and rob Unemployment is something I can't use If you can't use me, can you tell me some good news I'll be pretty simple, hear just what I say I'll do anything, to send these blues away Unemployment, something I can't use If you can't help me, can you tell me some good news You won't have to pay me overtime, overtime and all that You just tell me what time and where at Unemployment, something I can't use If you can't help me, can you tell me some good news I'll do anything at all, anything at all, to be a friend You know I'm real prompt, I'm right on time Unemployment is something I can't use If you can't help me, can you tell me some good newsListe
