One for the Money
T.G Shepherd
(Capo 1St. Fret ‘ Song on CD is in “D”)
Intro: A-D-A-D
He said I’m sorry I have to cancel the plans that we made
I got a weekend business trip out to L.A.
She drives him to the airport and watches till he boards the plane
Then she hurries to the phone booth and across town the telephone rings
Chorus
She’s got one for the money, two for the show
One to pay for the credit cards and two to rock n roll
One gave her a wedding ring and a new car that she drives
But two gives her the feeling she needs, that one’s money can’t buy
She arrives at the Honky Tonk just a little bit late
Parks her Mercedes round back cause her names on the license plate
She steps into another life, as she walks through the door
Then she melts into his arms, as they dance out across the floor
Chorus
She’s got one for the money, two for the show
One to pay for the credit cards and two to rock n roll
One gave her a wedding ring and a new car that she drives
But two gives her the feeling she needs, that one’s money can’t buy
Instrumental: D-A-D
Another wild lovers weekend ends too soon
And when they open up the blinds its Sunday afternoon
She wishes it could last forever and he’s beggin’ her to stay
But she’s got to pull herself together, ’cause there’s a plane comin’ in from L.A.
Chorus
She’s got one for the money, two for the show
One to pay for the credit cards and two to rock n roll
One gave her a wedding ring and a new car that she drives
But two gives her the feeling she needs, that one’s money can’t buy
(Repeat Chorus & Fade Out)
