Spent - Trick Pony

People in line got a real good laugh

When I pumped two dollars worth of premium gas

Money down the drain

(It's all I could afford)

A twist off bottle and tall boy can

In a brown paper sack from the quick stop man

Got a hand full of change

(It's all I could afford)

I ain’t got no dough (dough) no (no)

I get it and it goes

Like the water flows outta my hands (hands)

Uncle Sam (Sam)

I want you to know the money’s done

Spent (no it just don’t last)

Yeah it goes too fast (it ain’t coming back)

I don’t know where it went (spent it on your friends)

All I know is it gets spent (yeah it just gets spent)

Yeah, the money gets spent

Tried my ATM card, county bank

It flashed me no funds

Even told me no thanks

Wouldn’t give it back to me

(it's all I could afford)

Yeah I went to go buy me a brand new dress

But the man behind the counter wouldn’t take my check

Said theirs nothin’for free

(it's all I could afford)

I’d like to take a vacation (hey) to the islands (ho)

I’d love to take you where the water’s so blue

Bring Mama (mama) to the Bahamas ('Hamas)

But no can do 'cause the money i’d use is Spent (no it just don’t last)

Yeah it goes too fast (it ain’t coming back)

I don’t know where it went (spent it on your friends)

All I know is it gets spent (yeah it just gets spent)

Yeah, the money gets spent

There’s people walkin''round in the world out there

Just wishing they could have what we got here

But you can’t buy love like a lotta people think

'Cause when it comes to us just as fast as we can make it… it gets spent

Spent (no it just don’t last)

Yeah it goes too fast (it ain’t coming back)

I don’t know where it went (spent it on your friends)

All I know is it gets spent (yeah it just gets spent)

Yeah, the money gets spent
