If dust were dollars
I’ll be getting a tax deduction
if the White House has its way.
If dust were dollars at this moment
I’d be buried in green.
Wait, I’ll get my billfold
and the house will be clean.
If dust were dollars
I could retire
and start living the dream.
I’d buy me a dirt farm
with a big old house
sitting on a busy dirt road.
I’d open all the windows every day
and watch the money billow in
then laugh all the way to the bank.
