Don't Let It Make You

Verse #1

Everyday at 5am, he wakes up and drives himself to work
In his black suit and tailored shirt
He is gonna make this sale and gets what he's worth
No matter what the cost. Who he hurts, he comes first

Chorus #1

And he says I enjoy the finer things
Take a look at my life, can't you tell I'm so happy?
With my success

Who needs family, who needs friends?
Who needs God when you have yourself?
Have yourself, have yourself

Verse #2

He gets home to his kids and wife
Eating at the table, but he doesn't have time
Walks on through, got things to do
They can take care of themselves
I don't need them, don't need this
dusty bible hanging on my shelf
(oh)

Chorus #2

And he says I enjoy the finer things
Take a look at my life, can't you tell I'm so happy?
With my success

Who needs family, who needs friends?
Who needs God when you have yourself?
Have yourself, I have myself

Verse #3

Different morning, same routine
Finds a note from his wife tells him that she's gone
Taking the kids, she's not coming home.

On the floor looks like a mess
Empty house, whiskey on his breath
On his breath
He's all that's left

Chorus #3

And he says I enjoy the finer things
Take a look at my life, can't you tell I'm so happy?
With my success (oh)

Who needs family, who needs friends?
Who needs God when you have yourself?
Have yourself and I have myself

Bridge

If there is something that can be learned
We only have so much time on this earth
Make sure that God comes first

Are family and friends people you see right through
If your schedule is full then you need to make room

Make your money, don't let it make you
Don't let it make you
