Walker Hayes – New Money Lyrics

Album on New Money

[Intro]
Hey!

[Verse 1]
Grew up in a southern dimension
Where double-wides sat next door to mansions
Bag lady walking by the prep school
Rich girls by the cheap motel pool
Seventeen, didn’t have a dollar made
Got married in the magnolia shade
They said we shouldn’t, so we did
Started chasing dreams, trying to make some babies, and

[Chorus]
New money, like it’s gold, honey
So maybe our kids can be old money
Down the road, who knows
Might get your new kitchen but you can’t take it with you
When you go, honеy, radio money
Ain’t got nothing on Jesus bringing that soul money
Said all I know is you and Him

[Post-Chorus]
Lovеd me when I didn’t have no money
Girl, you got me on a roll, honey
I don’t need no money

[Verse 2]
Nashville made us even broker
Two jobs, still playing the joker
In a cover band down on Broadway
Guess I learned to dream the hard way
And so will my sons and so will my daughters
‘Cause they get good night kisses from a father like mine
Who followed his heart instead of the shine, and

[Chorus]
New money, like it’s gold, honey
So maybe our kids can be old money
Down the road, who knows
Might get your new kitchen but you can’t take it with you
When you go, honey, radio money
Ain’t got nothing on Jesus bringing that soul money (Hey!)
Said all I know is you and Him

[Post-Chorus]
Loved me when I didn’t have no money

[Bridge]
No problems, one kiss and, baby, you solve ’em
Everything is better with you, and it ain’t got nothing to do with that
New money, nah
Don’t know what I’d do without you, honey
All I know is you and Jesus
Loved me when I didn’t have—
[Chorus]
New money, like it’s gold, honey
So maybe our kids can be old money
Down the road, who knows
Might get your new kitchen but you can’t take it with you
When you go, honey, radio money
Ain’t got nothing on Jesus bringing that soul money (Hey!)
Said all I know is you and Him

[Post-Chorus]
Loved me when I didn’t have no money
Girl, you got me on a roll, honey
I don’t need no money
