Friends Like Bernie Madoff : Lyrics Elvis Nash

V1

I don’t have a wealthy father

Or a vacation place in the Bahamas

I don’t wanna have a second home

Keep track of two of everything I own

Worry where the Stockmarket’s at

You gotta be rich to think like that

Ch

I’m just a poor troubadour

I like to fish off my front porch

Catch sunsets and striped bass

Listen to frogs and Johnny Cash

Greed and money I ain’t made of

I don’t have friends like Bernie Madoff

V2

Kids round here don’t go to the Ivy League

Or outgrow their britches when they get big

Wives shop at Walmart or Circle K

And if they can’t find it there they go on eBay

Men wear their Levis til they’re torn to smithereens

Not eight hundred dollar pee-stained jeans

Ch

Br

I got a trailer by a lake and the songs I wrote

That’s the extent of my portfolio
