[Larry on the drums, no guitar]
N.C.
She's the dollars,
N.C.
She's my protection,
N.C.
Yeah, she's the promise,
N.C.
In the year of election,
N.C.
Ah, sister, I can't let you go,
N.C.
I'm like a preacher stealing hearts at a travelling show,
N.C.
For love or money, money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money
