Jimmy Buffett, Roger Guth & Jay Oliver

My Father Always Said That There's No Free Ride

You've Got To Make A Sacrifice

With So Many Prophets On The Lord's Side

Even Your Soul Has Got A Price

But Talk Is Cheap It Takes Money To Buy Your Freedom

And The Tax Man's Knockin' At Your Door



CHORUS

Spend It While You Can

Money's Contraband

You Can't Take It With You When You Go

Spend It While You Can

Before It's Taken From Your Hand

There's No Free Ride In This Carnival World



Too Many Hawkers On This Travelin' Show

Everybody's Got Something To Sell

Bootleg Swatches, Cardboard Gucci Gear

Watch Your Step At The Wishing Well



What's Mine Is Mine

If It's Only One Thin Dime

My Cash Has Always Meant To Flow



(Chorus)

Spend It While You Can, Etc..........

There's No Free Ride In This Carnival World.



But Talk Is Cheap It Takes Money To Buy Your Freedom

And The Tax Man's Knockin' At Your Door.



(Chorus)

Spend It While You Can....

....there's No Free Ride In This Carnival World.

There's No Free Ride In This Carnival World.
