Little River Band - Old Money

I grew up in a big, old house
Same name, same family
Only talk to the folk this side of the river

Always counting pennies
Was my daddy's only way
Gave it up for the woman he thought was forever

Beach house on a Friday night
Country club on a Saturday
Watched him build it up so strong
I saw you rip it away

New love, old money
It ain't never gonna last
Took so long to amount to much, now it's-
Disappearing fast
Old money

Dirty shoes and dirty minds
That's what my mama taught me
Don't be messin' around with a poor man daughter
You held me down for a little while
Now, I see right through you
Always ends up the same, face down in the water

Beach house on a Friday night
Country club on a Saturday
There's one thing you can't have
And it's mine to stay

New love, old money
It ain't never gonna last (never gonna last)
It took so long to amount to much, now it's-
Disappearing fast

New love, old money
It's gotta stand the test of time
One day you're gon' wake up rich
But this old heart with still be mine
Old money
Oh, yeah

Well, new love, old money
It ain't never gonna last (never gonna last)
Took so long to amount to much, now it's-
Disappearing fast

New love, old money
It's gotta stand the test of time
'Cause one day you're gon' wake up rich
But this old heart with still be mine
Oh, whoa, ho

Money comes and money goes (money comes)
Where it ends up, nobody knows (nobody knows you)
Money comes and money goes away (you might wake up rich, girl)
Money comes and money goes (one day you're a rich girl)
Where it ends up, nobody knows (nobody knows)
Money comes and money goes away (yeah, you can't take my heart)

Money comes and money goes (you can't take my heart)
Where it ends up, nobody knows
Money comes and money goes away (you can't take my heart)
Money comes and money goes
Where it ends up, nobody knows
Money comes and money goes away
Oh, it's just new blood
Old money
