Lyrics
She wanted a great big brand new house,
among brand new other things,
and just to marry and be my spouse,
she wanted great big diamond rings,
So I knew what she was about,
when she wanted so much bling,
It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out,
money was her thing, oh,
But you can't squeeze blood from a turnip,
my ol' daddy use to say,
don't build bridges that burn up son,
you'll need them again someday,
You're never too old to keep learnin',
work hard to pay your way,
keep a job and keep on earnin, son,
ya know, Rome wasn't built in a day,
Well, she just wasn't the one for me,
so she went on down the road,
and as far as I could see,
she could, carry her own dang load,
Yes, I'm so glad she's free,
and she left my humble abode,
because she inspired this song to be,
another one seeking gold,
But you can't squeeze blood from a turnip,
my ol' daddy use to say,
don't build bridges that burn up son,
you'll need them again someday,
you're never too old to keep learnin'
work hard to pay your way,
keep a job and keep earnin' son,
ya know, Rome wasn't built in a day.
