With a groove that won't quit, this song talks about a hard fact of life from the point of view of a guy who needs some money.
Lyrics:
I'm down to the last
I'm broke as a joke
In other words
I've got no cash flow
I tried to call my friend
Who owes me lots of green
But all I got
Was his doggone answering machine
When you've got no money
You've got no friends
They disappear, just like the wind
When your money's gone
So are your friends
Until you get, money again
When I had lots of cash
They were always around
Present situation
I can't find these clowns
People are strange
They don't wanna pay their debts
When they see ya they get amnesia
How soon they forget
When you've got no money
You've got no friends
They disappear, just like the wind
When your money's gone
So are your friends
Until you get, money again
It's a real mother for you
When they owe you and they ain't got no money for you?
When you've got no money
You've got no friends
They disappear, just like the wind
When your money's gone
So are your friends
Until you get, money again
I was thinking about getting a tattoo
And put it right in the middle of my hand
It's gonna say, give me my money
It's a real mother for you
When they owe you and they ain't got no money for you?
When you've got no money
You've got no friends
They disappear, just like the wind
When your money's gone
So are your friends
Until you get, money again
When you've got no money
You've got no friends
They disappear, just like the wind
When your money's gone
So are your friends
Until you get, money again
As we say in Louisiana
Mu twin wa la jo
When you've got no money
You've got no friends
They disappear, just like the wind
When your money's gone
So are your friends
Until you get, money again
