Gettin’ Rich, Goin’ Broke Lyrics by Willow Avalon

Southern Belle Raisin’ Hell

2024

[Verse 1]
My aunt needs a new roof
My mama wants a house
My papa wants a blue truck
It's all he talks about
So I'll keep makin' records
To pay these damn dues
'Cause my mama wants a new house
And my aunt needs a roof
[Verse 2]
My sister needs a new dress
My cousin wants party shoes
My grandma needs a new couch
So I'll take her out to choose
So I'll keep makin' records
'Til my heart turns blue
'Cause my sister needs a new dress
And my cousin wants party shoes
[Chorus]
Gettin' rich means goin' broke
The more they take, the more there ain't
No pennies in the piggy left for me
Every dollar that I make
Finds its way back home to my family
[Verse 3]
My uncle can't stop stealin'
The sheriff wants a raise
My grandpa needs a new stone
To sit upon his grave
So I'll keep makin' records
To pay these damn dues
'Cause my mama needs a new house
My grandma needs a new couch
My uncle needs a bail out or two
'Cause my papa wants a blue truck
And my aunt needs a roof
[Bridge]
Come on, JR
[Chorus]
Gettin' rich means goin' broke
The more they take, the more there ain't
No pennies in the piggy left for me
Every dollar that I make
You bet your ass they're gonna take
Every single cent to my name
Every dollar that I make
Finds its way back home to my family
Yeah, every dollar that I make
Finds its way back home to my family
