God Must Have My Fortune Laid Away

God has my fortune laid away



Oh, the world is full of people with money just to burn

Affording all the things in life for which a man might yearn

Some can take life easy but I live from day by day

God has my fortune laid away

(Laid away)



I search for sunshine every day but there always comes the rain

The hope over my horizon was smoke without a flame

Pockets that stay empty, dreams that go astray

God has my fortune laid away

(God has my fortune laid away laid away, laid away)



Oh how often I have wondered why some things have to be

Some people live in riches while some live just like me

The more I try to work and save the more I have to pay

But God has my fortune laid away

(Laid away)



I search for sunshine every day but there always comes the rain

The hope over my horizon was smoke without a flame

Pockets that stay empty, dreams that go astray

God has my fortune laid away
