Jenny had a job and bills to pay got her mamas good looks and cents to her name
She was working them fingers to the bone when a company man came along
He was knock knock knockin down her bedroom door
Now she’s wearing black gold to the grocery store

She got new money
(living high on the hog)
She got new money
(rich tricks to poor dog)
Eatin from the pot with a silver spoon, traded the rags for some rhinestone shoes
Left rock bottom for a top shelf view
New money looks good on you

In the back seat of a yellow cab theres a blonde bombsell with a brand new bag
She sold her soul to the sons of the city til a three piece suit fell for small town pretty
Now she’s rolling around in a blacked out caddy saying give me some of your sugar daddy

She got new money
(living high on the hog)
New money
(rich tricks to a poor dog)
Eatin from the pot with a silver spoon, traded the rags for some rhinestone shoes
Left rock bottom for a high rise view
New money looks good on you

Theres a girl from the south side of San Antone she done made that bread on her own
Throws it all away at a 9 to 5
But she’s cashin it in, in vegas tonight

She got new money
(living high on the hog)
new money
(rich tricks to poor dog)
New money
(High heels and a platinum card)
New money
(Livin easy ain’t been that hard)
Eatin from the pot with a silver spoon, traded the rags for some gucci shoes
Leavin rock bottom for a first class view
New money looks good on you x4

I washed all the dishes in the sink
Sewed a few patches on your jeans
Ironed all your shirts for the week, so you didn’t have to
Swept all the floors and made our bed
So you’d have a safe place to lay your head
Put some dinner on the stove, so when you got home you wouldn’t know
That I spent the whole damn day longing to hear what you’d never say
And I can’t help but think

(Chorus)
Sometimes I wonder if you even gave a damn
If I cut my hair, lost some weight or gave you all I can
So just in case on the day I decide to leave
I’ll take care of everything and be halfway out of town
Before the lights come on
Just so you don’t have to miss me when I’m gone

Left my ring and a letter by the bed and hoped you believed everything I said
Cause I meant it
I pray that your life is easy and you don’t look in another’s eyes and see me and wonder
What we could’ve been

(Chorus)
Sometimes I wonder if you even gave a damn
If I cut my hair, lost some weight or gave you all I can
So just in case on the day I decide to leave
I’ll take care of everything and be halfway out of town
Before the lights come on
Just so you don’t have to miss me when I’m gone

(break)
So don’t worry about being alone
I left everything in it’s place at home
Just so
Just so you don’t have to miss me when I’m gone
Oh and you won’t even miss me when I’m gone

There was a girl in Upshur county, she fell in love with a traveling man
You know he come from the wrong side of the tracks but she liked holding his hand
It came it pass one Sunday, when he was rolling in a Coupe de Ville
He said it’s time to ride outside the city limits down through the cotton fields, oh down through the cotton fields

The kind of man mama told me not to chase
Southern souls will lead you far from grace
The good book says don’t believe his lies
Oh but nobody told me the devil had blue eyes

She sat next to the preacher man with a few things to admit
She said I followed desire straight through the fire just for the hell of it
Just for the hell of it

The kind of man mama told me not to chase
Southern souls will lead you far from grace
The good book says don’t believe his lies
Oh but nobody told me the devil had blue eyes

Father please forgive me I have sinned
And you don’t know half the places I’ve been
The good book says don’t believe his lies
Oh but nobody told me the devil had blue eyes
Oh nobody told me the devil had blue eyes
Oh nobody told me the devil had blue eyes
