Don Henley - If Dirt Were Dollars Lyrics

Send "If Dirt Were Dollars" ringtone to your cell

Walkin? like a millionaire smilin? like a king

He leaned his shopping cart against the wall

He said "i been a lot of places and i seen a lot of things

But sonny i seen one thing that beats ?em all

I was flyin? back from lubbock i saw jesus on the plane

Or maybe it was elvis you know they kinda look the same"

Hey hey look out junior you?re steppin? on my bed

I said "i don?t see nothin'" he just glared at me and said

"if dirt were dollars

If dirt were dollars

If dirt were dollars

I wouldn?t worry anymore" no

Lookin? like a beauty queen loyal as a wife

She raised her little voice and testified

She said "i am a good girl i?ve been one all my life"

But her virtue was as swollen as her pride

She should?ve had the oscar she must have been miscast

Her fifteen minutes went by so fast

I said "now baby have you got no shame?"

She just looked at me uncomprehendingly like cows at a passing train

If dirt were dollars

If dirt were dollars

If dirt were dollars

I wouldn?t worry anymore no

We got the bully pulpit and the poisoned pen

We got a press no better than the public men

This brave new world gone bad again

God?s finest little creatures looking brave and strong

Whistling past the graveyard nothing can go wrong

Quoting from the scriptures with patriotic tears

We got the same old men with the same old fears

Standing at attention wrapped in stars and stripes

They hear the phantom drummers and the nonexistent pipes

These days the buck stops nowhere no one takes the blame

But evil is still evil in anybody?s name

If dirt were dollars

If dirt were dollars

If dirt were dollars

We?d all be in the black

If dirt were dollars

If dirt were dollars

If dirt were dollars

I wouldn?t worry anymore no

If dirt were dollars

If dirt were dollars

If dirt were dollars
