[Lyric] Trades (Sonny and the Sunshine Bandits)

[Verse 1]
There’s a promised life in the USA
Money is time as they say
Well I’ll take what’s mine and give it away
I’m trading pennies on dimes
I’m not here to stay

[Chorus 1]
I’m not here to stay, Hey!
I’m not here to stay, Hey!
I’m not here to stay, Hey!
I’m not here to stay

[Verse 2]
Well he ain't no fool who makes a trade
Of what he cannot keep
For what can’t be taken away
Well he ain't no fool who makes a trade
Of what he cannot keep
For what can’t be taken away
[Chorus 2]
Can’t be taken away, Hey!
Can’t be taken away, Hey!
Can’t be taken away, Hey!
Can’t be taken away

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Well don’t get me wrong
Or the words I say
I’ve seen the good that comes each day
But if they stack the cards
You’re still playing a game
We’re always grasping for wind as it’s blowing away

[Chorus 3]
As it’s blowing away, Hey!
As it’s blowing away, Hey!

[Outro]
As it’s blowing away, Hey!
As it’s blowing away, Hey!
As it’s blowing away, Hey!
As it’s blowing away, Hey!
As it’s blowing away, Hey!
As it’s blowing away
