The Root Of All Evil Lyrics

(Jeri Jones)

You've heard that old story ever since time began
That money is root of all evil
Well, let me tell you mine it's much older than time
For the root of all evil is a man.

They'll tell you that they love you
And will until they die
But you'll find them out with someone else
Before a tear come alive and it's dry.

So girls take my advice think it over once or twice
For the root of all evil is a man.

Sure there's honky tonk girls but before you condemn
And look at her with storm in your eyes
Hive her just a friendly smile hear her troubles for a while
For the cause of her trouble was a man.

They'll tell you that they love you
And will until they die
But you'll find them out with someone else
Before a tear come alive and it's dry.

So girls take my advice think it over once or twice
For the root of all evil is a man...
