One for The Money — текст песни (Kris Kristofferson)

Ive seen you standing there stunned in the spotlight

Ive seen the sweat streak the pain on your face

Cause youre caught like a clown in a circle of strangers

Who do you screw to get out of this place



Chorus:

Its one for the money

And too far to go

Three fingers of whiskey

Just for the soul

That lady youre pleasin

Is hungry and cold

Dont look in her eyes

Youll see what you sold



Too many bodies in too many bars

Too many feelings are fallin behind

Cause youre easy to fool when youre lost in the stars

Shoot out that spotlight before you go blind



Chorus:

Its one for the money

And too far to go

Three fingers of whiskey

Just for the soul

That lady youre pleasin

Is hungry and cold

Dont look in her eyes

Youll see what you sold
