McAlister Kemp - It Don't Buy You Love

Dit It Don’t Buy You Love komt voor de verandering u eens niet uit de USA. Drew McAlister (Narrabri) and Troy Kemp (Kempsey) (zij vormen dit duo) komen uit Australië. En zij bewijzen dat daar ook hele mooie countrymuziek wordt gemaakt. De song is afkomstig van hun album All Kinds Of Tough. Hier vind je ook nog een live versie.

Songtekst:

Verse 1
Met a man sitting in a bar
Bought him a beer, said you seen that car
Parked out the back, said yeah that’s my Cadillac
Said he’d worked hard all his life
Raised two kids, still loved his wife
Maryanne I thought what a lucky man
Pre
I said if I work hard like you, do you think I got a shot
He said if you do make sure don’t end up with what I got
Chorus
I got friends I never see
I got two kids that never talk to me
I got a wife sleeping in a separate bed
And a birthday coming up, I know they’ll all forget
And as for money, I got more than enough
But let me tell you son, it don’t buy you love
Verse 2
The things in life a father shouldn’t miss
The day his kids take their first steps
Well I did and I regret
Graduations anniversaries
Hanging tinsel on the Christmas tree
They did alone ‘cause I was never home
Pre
Said if you work hard like me yeah I think you got a shot
But if you do make sure don’t end up with what I got
Chorus
Middle
Well I worked real hard to get where I am
At times I cant thinking what lucky man
Chorus 2
I got friends I often see
Got two kids love hanging out with me
And my wife sleeping there by my side
And a birthday coming up, yeah I love my life
And as for money, well we don’t have much
Like that man said it don’t buy you love
Yeah like that man said it don’t buy you love
