Lyrics to
I Didn’t Have the Money
(Someone Else Loves Her Better)
by Bruce McDermott
Verse
Well I wasn’t having good times I didn’t have the money
I didn’t like my job and it wasn’t very funny
I’d always been told fun and good times equaled money
I didn’t like the town where I come from
So I thought I’d go where I’d see the sun
Change my job I was going to start brand new
Chorus
There she goes, my baby
I couldn’t hold her now she was over me
Someone else loved her better
And the drinking, yeh , the drinking, was for free
2
Well a lot of distance and a month or so
Separated us and time seemed to flow
Oh so slowly till I see her again
So I called on the phone said how soon can you be
Out here in the city with me
I found a place just right for the family
3
Well she hesitated then just a bit
And I don’t why but it all seemed to fit
I knew all the plans and the promises were far behind
But she came anyway and why I don’t know
'Cause her memory lingers and my thoughts only sow
Seeds of doubt and I wonder where it’ll go
