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
