Carnival World — Jimmy Buffett

Carnival world

By: jimmy buffett, roger guth, jay oliver

My father always said that theres no free ride

Youve got to make a sacrifice

So many prophets on the lords side

Even your soul has got a price

But talk is cheap

It takes money to buy your freedom

And the tax mans knockin on your door

Chorus

Spend it while you can

Moneys contraband

You cant take it with you when you go

Spend it while you can

Before its taken from your hand

Theres no free ride in this carnival world

Theres no free ride in this carnival world

Too many hawkers on this travelin show

Everybodys got somethin to sell

Bootleg swatches, cardboard gucci gear

Watch your step at the wishing well

But talk is cheap

It takes money to buy your freedom

And the tax mans knockin on your door

Chorus

Spend it while you can

Moneys contraband

You cant take it with you when you go

Spend it while you can

fore its taken from your hand

Theres no free ride in this carnival world

Theres no free ride in this carnival world

Whats mine is mine

If its only one thin dime

My cash was always meant to flow

Chorus

Spend it while you can

Moneys contraband

You cant take it with you when you go

Spend it while you can

Before its taken from your hand

Theres no free ride in this carnival world

Theres no free ride in this carnival world

Theres no free ride in this carnival world

Theres no free ride

Theres no free ride

Theres no free ride
