May Songwriting Challenge- Day 27: Money to Blow

We were joking around about the island and buying a home the other day and I said “Oh if I had money to blow”…and my honey said “that’d be a fun song to write”…so I did it…in the last twenty minutes. I’ve just been watching the time tick away while still playing catch up, but I’m getting there!

Money to Blow

V1:

I’d buy a plane ticket, no, a private jet

Be whisked up, up and away, with my favorite friends

Pick a spot on the globe, preferably

One with plenty of rum, and a beach

Oh the places we’d go

If I had money to blow

V2:

Take a big ole cabin, out in the woods

Yeah, the no neighbors for miles kind of neighborhood

Fill it with my favorite things in life

Whiskey bar, guitars, with a view to die

Yeah, I’d be so at home

If I had money to blow

CH:

Instead, I’ll spend this daily grind

Just 9 to 5 dreaming

‘Bout the life I would live

If I had the luxury 

Of a lotto ticket, a booming business

A trust fund or a rich uncle

Yeah if I had money to blow

V3:

Once my folks were all set up

I’d do my best to spread the love

Buy a thousand acres, build a barn

Own a rescue farm

Horses, pigs, dogs and goats

If I had money to blow

CH:

Instead, I’ll spend this daily grind

Just 9 to 5 dreaming

‘Bout the life I would live

If I had the luxury 

Of a lotto ticket, a booming business

A trust fund or a rich uncle

Yeah if I had money to blow

BR:

I’ll just fantasize, ‘til my account million-tuples

‘Bout what I’d do if I had money to blow

CH:

I’ll spend this daily grind

Just 9 to 5 dreaming

‘Bout the life I would live

If I had the luxury 

Of a lotto ticket, a booming business

A trust fund or a rich uncle

Yeah if I had money to blow
