Let's go to Louisiana boys Way down in Louisiana where the moss and cypress grew You'd find old Jack in a shotgun shack In the back of the black bayou Some folks called him crazy but I knew better than that He kept a hundred dollar bill tucked away in the brim Of his dirty old cowboy hat Jack told me a story when I was ten years He said there was once a fool tried to swim this swamp With his back weighted down with gold He said you should've seen that alligator smile He had a meal fit for a king But he need up on my table son, money ain't everything He said there's only one way into this world And one way out it's true You either eat the alligator Or he's gonna eat you There's people livin' in a high-rise That'll never hear a robin sing What good is first place when you're in a rat race Money ain't everything Little Maggie May lay dying, her heart was about to go When her daddy found a sack on the porch out back With a half a million dollars in gold They still talk about the stranger who saved her life that spring No name on the note but someone wrote, money ain't everything He said there's only one way into this world And one way out it's true You either eat the alligator Or he's gonna eat you There's people livin' in a high-rise That'll never hear a robin sing What good is first place when you're in a rat race Money ain't everything No name on the note but I know who wrote, money ain't everything
