Mark Chesnutt - It Pays Big Money Lyrics
My oldest brother Tommy was a lineman rest his soulHis job was hanging hot wires on them power company polesI said with all of that high voltage don't it scare you half to death?He said it makes me kinda nervous but I just can't help myself 'causeIt pays big money and boy I'm into thatIt pays big money if you're willin' to take a chanceI'll tell you sonny you ought to see my bank accountIt paid big money but he sure can't spend it nowMy dear departed cousin used to put in forty hoursChanging all them light bulbs on them television towersEvery morning bright and early he'd climb up in the skyAnd I didn't understand it so one day I asked him why, he saidIt pays big money and boy I'm into thatIt pays big money if you're willin' to take a chanceI'll tell you sonny you ought to see my bank accountIt paid big money but he sure can't spend it nowMy late Uncle Charlie was demolition manAnd he traveled all over the country blasting holes in this great landAnd he carried a case of dynamite everywhere he wentAnd he'd smoke them big long cigar's 'til it got the best of him, butIt pays big money and boy I'm into thatIt pays big money if you're willin' to take a chanceI'll tell you sonny you ought to see my bank accountIt paid big money but he sure can't spend it nowNow the moral of this storyIs don't go getting yourself killedAnd be kind to your rich relativesAnd they might just leave you in their willAnd that pays big money having foolish kinIt pays big money, I guess I owe it all to themI'll tell you sonny you ought to see my bank accountIt pays big money think I'll go spend some of it now
