Gary, this one wasn't easy. Feel free to shape it any way you like.
A Woman With Money in Her Mouth
Verse 1 I woke up with a picture I couldn’t shake loose Dark hair, bare shoulders in a half-lit truth She was smiling like she knew me, like she’d been around Greenbacks folded tight, clenched between her sound Didn’t know the number, didn’t know the why Just the color of the money and the look in her eye
Verse 2 Wednesday morning, alarm clock sin Jim Dandy lunch and a ninety-nine cent grin When I cracked my wallet, there it was again Green paper whisperin’ like an old friend Some things fade when the daylight comes Some things follow you when you’re done
Chorus No money in her mouth this time Just a smile I couldn’t ignore Same shoulders from a half-lost dream Same pull I’d felt before Some dreams don’t let you sleep it off They want somethin’ south Yeah, some dreams look just like her A woman with money in her mouth
Verse 3 Friday night, Cubby’s Hole hummin’ low Tom calls me Harley, God only knows Eagles on the jukebox, KC in the air And there she was dancin’ like she belonged there Friends laughin’ loud like summer rain She laughed quieter, let ’em be what they came
Chorus No money in her mouth tonight Just laughter and a green top glow Same face I couldn’t forget somehow Same place my heart would go Some things hit you when you’re wide awake No dreamin’ allowed Yeah, some moments cost more than sleep A woman with money in her mouth
Bridge I thought about tellin’ her the dream I’d seen Folded bills, borrowed meanin’ But some things sound better left unsaid Like why a song keeps playin’ in your head
Outro We walked past names in old tile stone Nighttime teachin’ a town what it’s known If dreams are debts or somethin’ true I don’t know what they’re tryin’ to do But if that dream was callin’ me south It knew her face, no doubt Yeah, it knew her face all along A woman with money in her mouth

"The standard by which I now measure the things in my life is the following: If I was on my death bed, or if I knew I had a short time to live, would this issue be important? If the answer is no.. I don't sweat it at all. If the answer is Yes, you better believe it goes to the front of the order of today's business!" -Brian Austin Whitney
