Jimmy Buffett
I Used To Have Money One Time
Written by - Jimmy Buffett & Michael Utley
From - One Particular Harbour
I had Cadillacs in my future 
Debutantes in my past 
I made a deal with the devil for a whole lot of money 
Thinkin' it would last and last 
But a fool and his money are bound to part 
And what goes up must come down 
So take my advice, don't trust the roll of the dice 
Keep your feet on solid ground 

I used to have money one time 
Life of adventure and crime 
I used to have money one time 
Lots of women and wine 
But who's gonna tell a fool? Who's gonna tell a fool? 
Who's gonna tell a fool? That he ain't cool 

Now thems were hard times back in the eighties bous 
People barely had enough to get by 
But oh not me foot loose and fancy free 
There was nothing to myself I'd deny 
So fellas listen to my story now 
Though you have heard this tale befo' 
Take care of your needs and watch out for your greeds 
Or that wolf will be at your door 

I used to have money one time 
Life of adventure and crime 
I used to have money one time 
Now I ain't got a dime 
But who's gonna be the fool?
Who's gonna be the fool? 
Who's gonna be the fool?
It still ain't cool

Who's gonna tell a fool?
Who's gonna tell a fool? 
Who's gonna tell a fool?
It still ain't cool
