I was standin' outside of a hotel in Houston blinkin' my eyes in the bright morning sunA feller next to me said where are you headedI told him to Nashville cause that's where I'm fromI said I had one or too many last evening brother I damn near fell off of my steedHe said yeah whiskey gets 'em and whiskey gets manyBut listen son nothin' kills people like greedI said huh and I turned to him and he was a cowboyBout fifty years old in a big western hatSir if you said that greed killed more people than whiskeyIf my taxi don't come tell me more bout thatHe said I knew a guy who made millions on millionsThen he turned right around and made millions on thatHe had crude oil and blue chips and good barns and feed lotsHe could touch an old steer and just turn into fatAnd he coveted the money that other folks lived onHe never spent nickels he thought he could keepIt was money that made him a night hawk and a worrierAnd soon it was money that robbed him of sleepAnd they buried him deep in a west Texas graveyardThey put up a tombstone of all he had doneAnd I am the man that he fired for a few beersBut I'm sure feeling good in the west Texas sunI shook hands with that man and I crawled in the taxiAnd I thought of the two things that I keep doing wrongThe man said that the greed killed more people than whiskeyAnd I'm sittin' here hung over.....writin' a song

I studied economics about 40 years ago. Tom T. tells it much better than they did.

I was raised in the coal country of Harlan Co. Kentucky and this song makes me see those mountains, and miners, and the company store, and the whole thing. It's easy to see how it wouldn't take too much of the treatment Johnny got to make him lose it.

Mike Wayson

the most underrated song in country, tells more truth than any new song in country today!

My favorite words in this great song: ``and I`m sure feeling good in the west Texas sun...` It is a forceful confirmation of the truth in this song. Tom T., we love you as you love us. Thank you for being you.

This would make a good counter-anthem at a GOP rally, considering what that Party has become.

Another Tom T Hall gem. Tom is a prolific writer with a distinct voice that holds your attention. I've always admired him. I smoked a cigarette with him behind a tobacco warehouse in the eighties right before he went inside. He was down to earth and didn't put on any airs. Thanks for sharing this. I haven't heard it in a long time ~ BCK
