Too Many Dollars, Not Enough Sense - Lynn Anderson

This world is filled with many kinds of people

Most of them so poor

They can hardly pay the rent

Then there’s another kind

Lots of funny people

Too many dollars not enough sense

Rich man’s son

He goes away to college

He has such fun

No work and all play

He’s not there for getting any knowledge

He’ll have his daddy bus’ness some day

Rich boy fails

And daddy wonders what he did

Chewing his nails all nervous and tense

Never figures out

That the trouble was he gave the kid

Too many dollars not enough sense

Poor little poor girl

Young and so beautuful

Marries old man with foot in the grave

Marries him for money

Now she’s gonna spend it all

Gonna throw away every dollar he saved

Man wakes up one morning all useless

Pretty girl gone and money all spent

Was his own fault for turning her loose

With too many dollars not enough sense

Indian live all life on reservation

All he knows is sweatin' and toil

White man come

And dig on reservation

Poke around and bring 'em up oil

Indian rich now

Gotta have a Cadillac him

Buy five and a Mercedes Benz

Take to reservation

Park 'em all back to back

Too many dollars not enough sense

This world is filled with many kinds of people…
