| Lyrics:Alex Harvey Music:Alex Harvey | |
| When I woke up this mornin' | |
| I was tired as I could be | |
| I think I was countin' my money | |
| When I should a' been countin' sheep | |
| My agent he just called me | |
| And told me what I should be | |
| If I would make my music for money | |
| Instead of makin' music for me | |
| Chorus: | |
| I said, 'I know that this may sound funny | |
| But money don't mean nothin' to me | |
| I won't make my music for money | |
| No, I'm gonna make my music for me' | |
| He said, 'The people only buy the love songs | |
| Rock n' Roll and not too long' | |
| He said, 'Son you got to be commercial | |
| If you want to turn the people on' | |
| And I said, 'Turnin' on the people | |
| Now that's a beautiful place to be | |
| But if I spend my time makin' them up a rhyme | |
| Well, who's gonna turn on me?' | |
| Repeat Chorus: | |
| Well now I went up to Country | |
| And I'll tell you all about the scene | |
| I found a place with much charm and much grace | |
| That wasn't touched by the music machine | |
| Whoa, the people were havin' a good time | |
| Makin' music all day long | |
| And nobody cared if they ever got paid | |
| One penny for playin' a song | |
| Repeat Chorus: | |
| Repeat Chorus: | |
| Whoa, I know... |
