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
