All The Money I Had Is Gone Lyrics

2, 3, 4

I've been waitin' here for days
Tryin' to catch a break
The way I'm livin', it's gonna cause my heart to ache
'Cause all the money I had is gone
All the money I had is gone

I've been high and I've been low
I've been east and I've been west
The way it goes, I'll never get no rest
'Cause all the money I had is gone
All the money I had is gone

The wayward son
He never gets nothing done
If I had some money, I'd be on the run
But all the money I had is gone
All the money I had is gone

All the greedy hands
That live around this land
They'll be wiped away come judgment day
And all the money I had is gone
All the money I had is gone

All the money I had is gone
All the money I had is gone

I can weep and I can cry
I can wonder why

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It seems pretty clear that he once had some money, yet now it is gone. And it pains him sorely.

I think "green hands" is "greedy hands" and "Deliver" is "That live"

All the greedy hands That live around this land...

He had money an d now its gone. He's been east and west. If he had money he would be on the run. I get the vibes that this song is about a traveller coming home and being broke. They lead an interesting life and now its gone along with the money. He wants to leave but doesn't have the ability because he is broke. Thats how this song feels to me. I played this song a bunch of times after I traveled across canada, and i got home and life was boring and i was broke.
