Where Does All The Money Go — текст песни (Roy Orbison)

Well I love this business, it`s been good to me
I`ve got a different shirt to wear every day can`t you see?
The crowds, they respond to me they got my tickets
And you know my pictures ain`t free, so I`m asking you, I really wanna know
Where does all the money go?

Well I dig applause, yeah, I get high from that sound
I got roadies, tailors, barbers and bodyguards hangin` round
I got a top rated tv show, they play my records on the radio
But won`t you tell me true, there`s one thing I`ve got to know
Where does all the money go?

I got expired credit cards, a pool in my back yard
I bought myself a lot of friends, I got a mortgage on a mansion
And a mid waist expansion and at forty the fun begins
I love this business but it might be the death of me
I`ve endorsed a lot of products but you don`t get me name for free
I`m not really hard to please, just gimme top billing in every press release
And I`m asking you, just listen to my show, where does all the money go?

Well I`ll be in this business till I`m under the old oak tree
and the folks will pay a lot of their money just to walk over me
I`ve got a hungry agent, gets a gig in every nation, and he books for my nominal fee
Well I never saw any cash, but I know somewhere there`s got to be one hell of a stash
And the epitaph I want on my headstone is Where did all the money go?
