Throwin' away my money

Well, I got a friend who plays the slots

Says he's gonna hit it one day

Gonna spend a thousand a quarter at a time

Throwin' away that money

Throwin away, Throwin away, throwin away that money



I got in jail last saturday night

Sherriffs sure drivin funny

Took a thousand ta get me out

Throwin away my money

Throwin away, throwin away, throwin away my money



Preacher man was passin by

Like to see me in church next sunday

But I've been up in honkey tonk

Throwin away my money

Throwin away, throwin away, throwin away my money



Well I got a check in the mail

It made me warm and sunny

The IRS dun sent me noise

Throwin away my money

Throwin away, throwin away, throwin away my money
