If You've Got The Money I've Got The Time
by Lefty Frizzell and Jim Beck
"I was working in
West Texas at a night club and I had a friend from
Oklahoma to come visiting. He wanted to go somewhere and
he said, 'Lefty, you want to go? and I said, 'Well if
you got the money, I got the time!' and it dawned on me
this would be a beautiful idea for a song." —Lefty
Frizzell
If You've Got The Money, I've Got The Time
If you've got the money, I've got the time,
We'll go honky tonkin' and we'll have a time
We'll make all the night spots
Dance, drink beer and wine
If you've got the money, honey
I've got the time.
There ain't no use to tarry
So let's start out tonight
We'll spread joy, oh boy, oh boy
And we'll spread it right
We'll have more fun, baby
All the way down the line
If you've got the money, honey
I've got the time.
If you've got the money, I've got the time
We'll go honky tonkin' and we'll have a time
Bring along your Cadillac
Leave my old wreck behind
If you've got the money, honey
I've got the time.
Yes, we'll go honky tonkin'
Make every club in town
We'll go to the park where it's dark
We won't fool around
But if you run short of money
I'll run short of time
'Cause you with no more money, honey
I've got no more time.
