lyrics

I’ve got you and you’ve got me
We’re so chained, we think we’re free
These things in life don’t have to be
Leave it to you to leave it to me

Money is funny and you say it’s a game
Where the winners and losers are all the same
Money is funny and you say it’s a joke
Well keep on laughing, we’ll all be broke

So I went down to the old race track
To see if I could win your money back
But I bet on a three-legged dog to bring it back home
And he just rolled like a rolling stone

No room for a thief in this place
He’ll steal that smile right from your face
Shows no remorse when he steals your gold
Don’t care if you’re rich, don’t care if you’re old
Like stealing candy from a baby’s mouth
The north wind blows and he’s headin’ south
I went home to see my kin
And let them know the shape I’m in
I can’t stand to see my momma cry
So you pushed me down and kicked my eye
You know you can’t always get your way
You wanted to leave, but I wanted to stay
You know you can’t always get your way, baby
You wanted to buy, but you didn’t want to pay
I’ve got you and you’ve got me
We’re so chained, we think we’re free
These things in life don’t have to be
Leave it to you to leave it to me

But I got no time so what can I do
Well, leave it to me to leave it to you.
