D#           Cm
Grew up in a southern dimension
       Gm                    G#
Where double-wides sat next door to mansions
 D#              Cm
Bag lady walking by the prep school
Gm                  G#
Rich girls by the cheap motel pool

Seventeen, didn't have a dollar made
Got married in the magnolia shade
They said we shouldn’t, so we did
Started chasing dreams, trying to
make some babies, and

Chorus:
D#                   Cm
New money, like it's gold, honey
    Gm                   G#
So maybe our kids can be old money
          D#        Cm
Down the road, who knows
      Gm
Might get your new kitchen but
    G#
you can't take it with you
         D#          Cm
When you go, honey, radio money
 Gm                   G#                 D#
Ain’t got nothing on Jesus bringing that soul money
Cm          Gm
Said all I know is you and Him

G#                           D#     Cm Gm G#
Loved me when I didn't have no money
                      D#         Cm
Girl, you got me on a roll, honey
             Gm      G#
I don't need no money

Nashville made us even broker
Two jobs, still playing the joker
In a cover band down on Broadway
Guess I learned to dream the hard way
And so will my sons and so will my daughters
'Cause they get good night kisses
from a father like mine
Who followed his heart instead of the shine, and

Chorus:
New money, like it's gold, honey
So maybe our kids can be old money
Down the road, who knows
Might get your new kitchen
but you can't take it with you
When you go, honey, radio money
Ain't got nothing on Jesus
bringing that soul money (Hey!)
Said all I know is you and Him

Loved me when I didn't have no money

       Gm                  G#               D#
No problems, one kiss and, baby, you solve ’em
              Cm
Everything is better with you,
Gm               G#
and it ain’t got nothing to do with that
D#       Cm Gm
New money, nah
            G#                 D#         Cm
Don't know what I’d do without you, honey
                       Gm
All I know is you and Jesus
G#
Loved me when I didn't have—

Chorus:
New money, like it's gold, honey
So maybe our kids can be old money
Down the road, who knows
Might get your new kitchen but you
can't take it with you
When you go, honey, radio money
Ain’t got nothing on Jesus bringing
that soul money (Hey!)
Said all I know is you and Him

Loved me when I didn't have no money
Girl, you got me on a roll, honey
I don't need no money
