Where Did The Money Go?

by Hoyt Axton

on Everybody's Going on the Road (2021), Where Did The Money Go? (1980)

I search for the meaning in a life
Confusing me for somebody else
It must not like
And the police wonder
Who shot the butler?
It is a mystery
Of the first degree
Nobody seems to know
Where did the money go?

Chorus:
Where did the money go?
Nobody seemed to know
Where did the money go?

I had a friend and he got drunk
In a cantina in San Diego
And when he woke up he was
Ooooooo-hung-over
It was a mystery!
He just kept asking

Where did the money go?

Repeat chorus

I see the woman that I'm lovin'
And I run my fingers through her hair
I love her hair
And in her hand she brings me flowers
Ooooooo-pretty flowers
She is so good to me
She never has asked me
Ohhhh-"Where did the money go!"

Repeat chorus

Nobody seems to know
Where did the money go?
