I ain’t rich, but I damn sure wanna be Working like a dog all day, ain’t working for me I wish I had a rich uncle that’d kick the bucket And that I was sitting on a pile like Warren Buffett I know everybody says Money can’t buy happiness But it could buy me a boat, it could buy me a truck to pull it It could buy me a Yeti 110 iced down with some silver bullets Yeah, and I know what they say Money can’t buy everything Well, maybe so, But it could buy me a boat They call me redneck, white trash and blue collar But I could change all that if I had a couple million dollars I keep hearing that money is the root of all evil And you can’t fit a camel through the eye of a needle I’m sure that’s probably true, But it still sounds pretty cool 'Cause it could buy me a boat, it could buy me a truck to pull it It could buy me a Yeti 110 iced down with some silver bullets Yeah, and I know what they say, Money can’t buy everything Well, maybe so, But it could buy me a boat To float down on the water with a beer I hear the Powerball Lotto is a-sitting’ on a hundred mill Well, that would buy me a brand new rod and reel And it could buy me a boat, it could buy me a truck to pull it It could buy me a Yeti 110 iced down with some silver bullets Yeah, and I know what they say, Money can’t buy everything Well, maybe so, But it could buy me a boat Yeah, and I know what they say, Money can’t buy everything Well, maybe so, But it could buy me a boat It could buy me a boat
