Daily Lyric: THAT KIND OF MONEY

my records get made

my debts get paid

and I can get laid

with that kind of money

hanging out with the stars

in the backs of their cars

I buy their guitars

with that kind of money

if only

if only I

if only I had

if only I had that kind of money.

my reach extends

I meet my ends

I influence friends

with that kind of money

I build my own school

to turn scholars into fools

I make and break rules

with that kind of money

if only ...

there are no beyond means

there is nothing extreme

I can live all my dreams

with that kind of money

I live like a king

I rule everything

I have the world on a string

with that kind of money

if only ...

Gimme some BIG BUCKS!

Who says all my songs have to be epics! This one echoes the same sentiment expressed in my better-known non-hit, "Everybody's in the Money (But Us)," in a few succinct lines. I wrote this lyric sometime in the early 2000s, probably while I was still living at the Jersey Shore, marking time as a limousine driver after getting laid off from my editorial job in the publishing business in the aftermath of 9/11 but before moving to Los Angeles and hopefully some better fortunes. If I ever put this to music, it'll be quick and catchy.
