Lay Your Money Down Lyrics

Artist: Tora Tora
Album: Wild America

Poor old man came from Mississippi
Nothinâ‚¬â„¢on his mind but a cheap fifth of whiskey
Playinâ‚¬â„¢ his guitar, got into the city
Workinâ‚¬â„¢ on the streets just to make a living

Well he could sing those coffee house blues

Mississippi John made it look so easy
Cigarette behind his ear
His eye are lookinâ‚¬â„¢ misty
Really let go when the bottleâ‚¬â„¢s half empty
Singing it loud, his voice is kinda gritty
He knows heâ‚¬â„¢s got nothinâ‚¬â„¢ to prove

He spends his time playinâ‚¬â„¢ in the city
Wonâ‚¬â„¢t you lay your money down
Watchful eyes for someone who will listen
Wonâ‚¬â„¢t you lay your money down

Everybody said heâ‚¬â„¢d be better off leavinâ‚¬â„¢
And he knew in his heart
That he better start believing
Better use the talent
That the good lord gave him
To get out of this place
He donâ‚¬â„¢t need a good reason

Heâ‚¬â„¢s giving heart and soul to you

He spends his time playinâ‚¬â„¢ in the city
Wonâ‚¬â„¢t you lay your money down
Watchful eyes for someone who will listen
Wonâ‚¬â„¢t you lay your money down

Look downtown see the man on the corner
Working so hard just get a dollar
People walk my want to call him a beggar
Donâ‚¬â„¢t want too much
He's just taking what they offer

Well heâ‚¬â„¢s playing each note for you

Well he spends his time playinâ‚¬â„¢ in the city
Wonâ‚¬â„¢t you lay your money down
Watchful eyes for someone who will listen
Wonâ‚¬â„¢t you lay your money down
