Intro

    

Verse 1

Here is the money that I owe you
Yes, you can pay the bills
I will give you more
When I get paid again 
I hate those people who love to tell you
Money is the root of all that kills
They have never been poor
C C N.C.
They have never had the joy of a welfare Christmas
Yeah 
Oh, I know we will never look back
Yeah 

Verse 2

You say you wake up crying
Yes, and you don’t know why
You get up and you go lay down
Inside my baby’s room 
Yeah, I guess I’m doing ok
I moved in with the strangest guy
Can you believe he actually thinks
C N.C.
That I am really alive

Chorus

I will buy you a garden
Where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car
Perfect, shiny and new
I will buy you that big house
Way up in the west hills
I will buy you a new life
Yes, I will

Verse 3

Yes, I know all about that other guy
The handsome man with athletic thighs
I know about all the time before
With that obsessive little rich boy
They might make you think you’re happy
Yeah, maybe for a minute or two
They can’t make you laugh
No, they can’t make you feel the way that I do

Chorus

I will buy you a garden
Where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car
Perfect, shiny and new
I will buy you that big house
Way up in the west hills
I will buy you a new life, yeah
I will buy you a new life, oh-oh
Yeah 
Oh, I know we can never look back
Yeah No-o!

Bridge

Oh, will you please let me stay the night
Will you please let me stay the night
No one will ever know

Chorus

I will buy you a garden
Where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car
Perfect, shiny and new
I will buy you that big house
Way up in the west hills
I will buy you a new life
I will buy you a garden
Where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car
Perfect, shiny and new
I will buy you that big house
Way up in the west hills

Outro

(G) B7 C
I will buy you a new life
I will buy you a new life
I will buy you a new life
I will buy you a new life
