Makin` Music For Money — текст песни (Jimmy Buffett)





By: Alex Harvey
1974
When I woke up this mornin`
I was tired as I could be
I think I was countin` my money
When I should a` been countin` sheep

My agent he just called me
And told me what I should be
If I would make my music for money
Instead of makin` music for me

Chorus:
I said, "I know that this may sound funny
But money don`t mean nothin` to me
I won`t make my music for money
No, I`m gonna make my music for me"

He said, "The people only buy the love songs
Rock n` Roll and not too long"
He said, "Son you got to be commercial
If you want to turn the people on"

And I said, "Turnin` on the people
Now that`s a beautiful place to be
But if I spend my time makin` them up a rhyme
Well, who`s gonna turn on me?"

Repeat Chorus:

Well now I went up to Country
And I`ll tell you all about the scene
I found a place with much charm and much grace
That wasn`t touched by the music machine

Whoa, the people were havin` a good time
Makin` music all day long
And nobody cared if they ever got paid
One penny for playin` a song

Repeat Chorus:

Repeat Chorus:
Whoa, I know...
