Folding Money Songtext / Lyric

When I was just a boy, my granddaddy took me to town one afternoon

He drove an LTD, wore a big white Stetson, and two-tone cowboy boots

He said son "Here goes" and handed me a twenty just to see the look on my face

He said, "Don't tell your mama nothin' about it, don't spend it all in one place."



You see it takes foldin' money to get the deal done

Foldin' money to have a little fun

Foldin' money to pay a few bills

Eat a steak dinner, and cure a couple ills

Foldin' money, you need a little stash

Some greenback dollars and cold hard cash

Save it for a rainy day or go away a little bit, son

It takes foldin' money…to get the deal done.



Ever since the day I learned to earn a dollar I've been taking his advice to heart

‘Cause when a man finds the courage to keep his cash, some romance is bound to start

Now romance is just like money…you can always get more if you've got it

And let me tell you friends, I'm a lot more handsome with a C note in my pocket






You see it takes foldin' money to get the deal done

Foldin' money to have a little fun

Foldin' money to pay a few bills

Make a girl dance, and cure a couple ills

Foldin' money, you need a little stash

Some greenback dollars and cold hard cash

Save it for a rainy day or go away a little bit, son

It takes foldin' money…to get the deal done.



It's a pain in the back, it's a cold hard fact, gets to everybody sooner or later

You can give it to a charity and in some disparity, stock up your refrigerator

Couldn't marry it or date it, it'll kill you if you let it, you can blow it with nothing to show

It will make your wallet fatter, but the truth of the matter's can't take it with you when you go



You see it takes foldin' money to get the deal done

Foldin' money to have a little fun

Foldin' money to pay a few bills

Spread a little ‘round, and cure a couple ills

Foldin' money, you need a little stash

Some greenback dollars and cold hard cash

Save it for a rainy day or go away a little bit, son

It takes foldin' money…to get the deal done.
