One For The Money

One For The Money - T G Sheppard

He said

I'm sorry I have to cancel the plans we made

I got a weekend business trip bound to L.A

She drives him to the airport

And watches till he boards the plane

Then she hurries to a phone booth

And across town the telephone rings

She's got one for the money

Two for the show

One to pay for the credit cards

And two to rock 'n roll

One gave her the wedding ring

The new car that she drives

But two gives her the feeling she needs

That one's money can't buy

Now she arrives at the honky tonk

Just a little bit late

Parks her Mercedes 'round back

'Cause her name's on the license plate

She steps into another life

As she walks through the door

Then she melts into his arms

As they dance out across the floor

And she's got one for the money

Two for the show

One to pay for the credit cards

And two to rock 'n roll

One gave her a wedding ring

The new car that she drives

But two gives her the feeling she needs

That one's money can't buy

Another wild lover's weekend

Ends too soon

And when they open up the blinds

It's Sunday afternoon

She wishes it could last forever

And he's beggin' her to stay

But she's got to pull herself together

'Cause there's a plane coming in from L.A

And she's got one for the money

Two for the show

One to pay for the credit cards

And two to rock 'n roll

One gave her the wedding ring

The new car that she drives

But two gives her the feeling she needs

That one's money can't buy

She's got one for the money

And you know two for the show

One to pay for the credit cards

And two to rock 'n roll

One gave her the wedding ring

The new car that she drives

But two gives her the feeling she needs
