Marry for Money

"Marry for Money" is a song written by Jimmy Melton and Dave Turnbull, and recorded by American country music artist Trace Adkins.

"Marry for Money" begins at a moderate pace with acoustic guitar accompaniment, describing the male narrator's failed attempts at finding love.

In the chorus, the tempo increases, with accompaniment from electric guitar and fiddle, and he explains that for his next relationship, he will "marry for money", regardless of his partner's age, physical appearance, or whether she loves him or not.

Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, calling the song "sheer fun" and saying that Adkins' "tongue-in-cheek performance is full of personality and panache.

Although she said "Its solid production and charismatic performance also save it from going from cute to cheesy, unlike some of Adkins’ more ridiculous outings", she still considered it a poor single choice, as she thought that Adkins had too many novelty singles in his repertoire.
