There is a lie that I believed
 
 The more that I got, the more I'd be free, free, free, free
 
 So I've been away, making the green
 
 See, the more that I get, the more that I need, need, need, need
 
  
  So pray for my, pray for my, pray for my soul
 
 I got a, caught a disease, and it's gold
 
 Caught it so easy like the common cold, ooh, ooh
 
 Tossing and tossing and turning around
 
 Trying and trying to sweat it all out
 
 Kicking the habit that's pulling me down, ooh, oh
 
 I don't wanna be eighty-five, singing
 
 Oh, no, I think I missed it, I was chasing money
 
 I don't wanna be eighty-five, singing
 
 Oh, no, I got a big house, but my heart is ugly
 
 You can't take it with ya, and your whip ain't gon' miss ya
 
 So wipe off that window, see the bigger picture now
 
 I don't wanna be eighty-five, singing
 
 Whoa, no, I think I missed it, I was chasing money
  
 
 Now there is a dream that I was sold
 
 Just get all you can before you get old, old, old, old
 
 So I bought it all and took out a loan
 
 But now that I'm here, I got nothing to show, show, show, show
  
 
 Pray for my, pray for my, pray for my soul
 
 I got a, got a disease, and it's gold
 
 Caught it so easy like the common cold, ooh, ooh
 
 Tossing and tossing and turning around
 
 Trying and trying to sweat it all out
 
 Kicking the habit that's pulling me down, ooh, oh
 
 I don't wanna be eighty-five, singing
 
 Whoa, no, I think I missed it, I was chasing money
  
 
 I don't wanna be eighty-five, singing
 
 Whoa, no, I got a big house, but my heart is ugly
 
 You can't take it with ya, and your whip ain't gon' miss ya
 
 So wipe off that window, see the bigger picture now
 
 I don't wanna be eighty-five, singing
  
 
 Whoa, no, I think I missed it, I was chasing money
 
 I want a life (I want a life) I cannot pay for
 
 I want a life (I want a life) I can't afford to live without
 
 I want a life (I want a life) I cannot pay for
 
 I want a life (I want a life) I can't afford to be missing out
 
 I don't wanna be eighty-five, singing
 
 Oh, no, I think I missed it, I was chasing money
 
 I don't wanna be eighty-five, singing
  
 
 Oh, no, I got a big house, but my heart is ugly
 
 I don't wanna be eighty-five (I don't wanna be eighty-five), singing
 
 Whoa, no, I think I missed it, I was chasing money" (I was chasing money)
 
 I don't wanna be eighty-five, singing
 
 Whoa, no, I got a big house, but my heart is hurting me
 
 I think I missed it I was chasing money
