SHE CAME HERE FOR THE CHANGE
(Bobby Barker / Charles Quillen)

Ronnie Milsap - 1974



 
To her those quarter tips ain't worth a nickel
If she never makes a dime it's all the same
The only change she wants is from the life I gave her
She didn't come here for the money, she came here for the change

She's not here to make a livin', she's here to make a life
Now she's gettin' over me beneath the neon lights
And I'm the fool who drove her from a world of apron strings
She didn't come here for the money, she came here for the change

The jukebox plays while she waits on her tables
She laughs aloud and never complains
I guess she's happy in her new world without me
But she didn't come here for the money, she came here for the change

She's not here to make a livin', she's here to make a life
Now she's gettin' over me beneath the neon lights
And I'm the fool who drove her from a world of apron strings
She didn't come here for the money, she came here for the change

She didn't come here for the money, she came here for the change
