Caballo Robado

How's it going, Mr. Money?
How's life treating you?
You saw I was on the way down
You left with the one above
Like a stolen horse
You just switched saddles

The cow's for milking
And your buddy's milking you
But when it stops giving milk
That's when the shine wears off
Watch out for the backstabbers
They're enemies to the rooster

Where are those friends
You bragged about so much?
When you were with me
You shared with everyone
You let loose with the loose ends
You did whatever you wanted

Sometimes you're on top
But envy never sleeps
Because when you're down
That's when you see the real people
A friend who's your friend
Shouldn't be about the cash

Sometimes, what shines the most
We mistake for gold
But it turns out to be copper
That's just life, deal with it
Friends are the ones below
They'll support you through it all

When you're on the way up
Watch out who you run into
Because when you least expect it
Life collects its dues
The cow that doesn't give milk
Just gets in the way at the barn
