Last night my day, my dad came home. Said we gotta roam
Head North to Ohio. His eyes were heavy and his voice
His voice was low. Said we gotta go
Where the money's good
Go gotta go where the money's good. Watch that dough grow
Go gotta go where the money is. Go gotta go watch that dough grow
So I put on my favorite jeans and my pink backpack
And climbed into the Oldsmobile; sat on my mama's lap
Drove to the Rio Grand. All of us hand in hand
Go gotta go where the money's good. Watch that dough grow
Go gotta go where the money is. Go gotta go watch that dough grow
When we reached the boarder patrol they looked over in row
Took our paper work and the hefty fee. Thank God, my
Dad worked his hands to the bone to give us a life of our own
Go gotta go where the money's good. Watch that dough grow
Go gotta go where the money is. Go gotta go watch that dough grow
Here I stand 20 years in my hands
Babies born and a junkie wedding band
But I am an American
Yes I am an America
Go gotta go where the money's good. Watch that dough grow
Go gotta go where the money is. Go gotta go watch that dough grow
