Merle Haggard
Money Tree
[Verse 1]
Silver and gold made you say goodbye
One day it may make you want to cry
When you're alone with a heart that's blue
Who will you take your heartaches to?

[Chorus]
Love can't grow on a money tree
Not the kind you had with me
Someday when you're older, a wiser girl you'll be
Then you'll know that love can't grow on a money tree

[Verse 2]
I don't blame you for all my pain
A young girl like you needs time to dream
You're happy now, but how long will it last?
One day you'll be just a girl with a past

[Chorus]
Love can't grow on a money tree
Not the kind you had with me
Someday when you're older, a wiser girl you'll be
Then you'll know that love can't grow on a money tree
