  • I play the game of a rich boy,
    I buy everything I can.
    My bankroll is a foot thick,
    I'm a wealthy man.
    A million dollar reserve note is right there in my hand
    And I can't stand to think it's all that I've got.
    Take away all my silver
    Take away all my gold
    And hand me a stack of paper
    Paper money don't hold. Paper money don't hold.
    Well, you act as though you don't remember
    The way it all used to be.
    Now one man, he locks up the money
    Another man holds the key.
    My car cost me fifteen grand,
    Some say I got a deal.
    Melt it down, I've got a thousand pounds of junk
    And ten dollars worth of steel. Writer/s: RONNIE MONTROSE, SAMMY HAGAR
