Shania Twain’s track “That’s The Money” from the extended edition of her whimsical album Little Miss Twain showcases her playful storytelling and country‑pop flair. The song blends vivid imagery with a catchy hook, making it a standout piece in her catalog.
The lyrics paint a picture of everyday moments—morning musings, nature walks, and simple joys—while the recurring refrain “that’s the money, honey” serves as a metaphor for finding value in life’s small pleasures. Twain’s breezy delivery invites listeners to relax, sing along, and appreciate the uncomplicated happiness found in the world around them.
This morning brought a mixed bag of good and bad with it
Like clockwork, I knew a new day’d come
Sometimes a kind face or a dark place, it could be a fist or faith
At least it’s fixed by fishing in the bay
And if you wanna know what keeps me ticking, oh, my friend
I just don’t overthink it
I run the fresh off a hot young horse
Swim him in the river in the middle of the forest
Listen to the breeze of the birds and the bees
Singing the chorus
Taste the sweet of the summer sap
Free my hair from underneath my cap
On top of the world, sitting on his lap
Singing, ooh, that’s the money, honey (Ooh, that’s the money)
Ooh, that’s the money, honey (Ooh, that’s the money)
(Ooh, that’s the money, honey)
Love’s right and never wrong and all that comes between it (Black and white)
Black and white, it’s every shade of gray (Shade of gray)
But why not brighten up your life and stay light on your feet and then repeat?
Just skip rope and sip that lemonade (That lemonade)
That’s what I do when I don’t know what else to do, my friend
I just don’t overthink it
I run the fresh off a hot young horse
Swim him in the river in the middle of the forest
Listen to the breeze of the birds and the bees
Singing the chorus
Taste the sweet of the summer sap
Free my hair from underneath my cap
On top of the world, sitting on his lap
Singing, ooh, that’s the money, honey (Ooh, that’s the money)
Ooh, that’s the money, honey (Ooh, that’s the money)
(Ooh, that’s the money, honey)
I run the fresh off a hot young horse (Ooh, money)
Swim him in the river in the middle of the forest (That’s nothing)
Listen to the breeze of the birds and the bees
Singing the chorus (Ooh, that’s the money)
Taste the sweet of the summer sap (Oh, we gonna swim that river)
Free my hair from underneath my cap
On top of the world, sitting on his lap (Sugar)
Singing, ooh, that’s the money, honey (Mm, money, money)
Ooh, that’s the money, honey (Mm, money, money, money, yeah)
(Ooh, that’s the money, honey) Money, money, money
Money, money, money
That’s the money, money
