One For The Money

I've seen you standing there stunned in the spotlight

I've seen the sweat streak the pain on your face

Cause you're caught like a clown in a circle of strangers

Who do you screw to get out of this place



Chorus:

It's one for the money

And too far to go

Three fingers of whiskey

Just for the soul

That lady you're pleasin'

Is hungry and cold

Don't look in her eyes

You'll see what you sold



Too many bodies in too many bars

Too many feelings are fallin' behind

Cause you're easy to fool when you're lost in the stars

Shoot out that spotlight before you go blind



Chorus:

It's one for the money

And too far to go

Three fingers of whiskey

Just for the soul

That lady you're pleasin'

Is hungry and cold

Don't look in her eyes

You'll see what you sold
