Story Behind The Song

When a penny planted in the ground never sprouts a Money Tree, the frustration and worry grows. The trials and tribulations of just trying to get by in life.

Song Description

Traditional Blues with piano, bass, guitar and drums. Amusing and clever lyrics.

Lyrics

I?m a hard worker
Through and through
My meager paycheck
Just won?t do

Oh, I?m real tired of
Bein? broke
Asked my boss for a raise and he
Just blew smoke

There ain?t no money tree
In my backyard
No, there ain?t no money tree
In my backyard

I planted a penny
In the ground
A shiny new penny
Perfectly round

But that darn penny
Just won?t grow
I do what I can to make
That cash flow

Chorus

I?m over my limit on my
Credit card
I never thought things could get
So dang hard

I tend to that penny
I fertilize it well
If something don?t sprout soon
My troubles will swell

Chorus

I?m trying to grow a money tree
Been watering that money tree
I sure hope there?s gonna be a money tree
But there still ain?t no money tree
In my backyard
