Money Ain't Everything Lyrics - Clay Walker

(Kim Williams/Clay Walker/Kent Blazey) 

Let's go to Louisiana boys 

Way down in Louisiana where the moss and cypress grew 

You'd find old Jack in a shotgun shack 

In the back of the black bayou 

Some folks called him crazy but I knew better than that 

He kept a hundred dollar bill tucked away in the brim 

Of his dirty old cowboy hat 

Jack told me a story when I was ten years old 

He said there was once a fool tried to swim this swamp 

With his back weighted down with gold 

He said you should've seen that alligator smile 

He had a meal fit for a king 

But he ened up on my table son, money ain't everything

He said there's only one way into this world 

And one way out it's true 

You either eat the alligator 

Or he's gonna eat you 

There's people livin' in a high-rise 

That'll never hear a robin sing 

What good is first place when you're in a rat race 

Money ain't everything 

Little Maggie May lay dying, her heart was about to go 

When her daddy found a sack on the porch out back 

With a half a million dollars in gold 

They still talk about the stranger who saved her life that spring 

No name on the note but someone wrote, money ain't everything

And one way out it's true 

You either eat the alligator 

Or he's gonna eat you 

There's people livin' in a high-rise 

That'll never hear a robin sing 

What good is first place when you're in a rat race 

Money ain't everything 

No name on the note but I know who wrote, money ain't everything
