God has my fortune laid away |
|
Oh, the world is full of people with money just to burn |
|
Affording all the things in life for which a man might yearn |
|
Some can take life easy but I live from day by day |
|
God has my fortune laid away |
|
(Laid away) |
|
I search for sunshine every day but there always comes the rain |
|
The hope over my horizon was smoke without a flame |
|
Pockets that stay empty, dreams that go astray |
|
God has my fortune laid away |
|
(God has my fortune laid away laid away, laid away) |
|
Oh how often I have wondered why some things have to be |
|
Some people live in riches while some live just like me |
|
The more I try to work and save the more I have to pay |
|
But God has my fortune laid away |
|
(Laid away) |
|
I search for sunshine every day but there always comes the rain |
|
The hope over my horizon was smoke without a flame |
|
Pockets that stay empty, dreams that go astray |
|
God has my fortune laid away |
