I Used to Have Money One Time

Jimmy Buffett, Michael Utley

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, boy
People barely had enough to get by
But oh not me, footloose and fancy-free
There was nothing to myself I'd deny

So fellas, listen to my story now
Though you have heard this tale before
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 tell be the fool?
Who's gonna tell 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?

Jimmy used to have money one time
Well, he used to have money one time
Jimmy used to have money one time, yes he did
Well, he used to have money one time
