The Blake Shelton Minimum Wage song served as the second single from his twelfth studio album “Body Language” and was released on January 15, 2021. The song reached #9 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart and created plenty of controversy.
Some critics and fans described the money-centric lyrics as insensitive and tone deaf during the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The song is actually about how the woman in his life makes a guy feel like a million bucks even thought he does not have much money. This is a typical country music love song and it seems strange that it generated so much controversy.
Watch the music videos and check out the written lyrics below and you should find that this is just another country music love song.

Blake Shelton Minimum Wage Lyrics
Yeah, I met you ‘fore anybody knew my name
Playing for pennies on the dive bar stage
Split an All-Star Special on our first date in a Waffle House booth
Your daddy was crying when he gave you away
‘Cause all those country songs I played
They didn’t come with a 401K, but hey, I had you
You can make a six pack on the carpet
Taste like a million dollar bill
You can make a one bedroom apartment
Feel like a house up on the hill
You can make my truck out in the driveway
Roll like a cleaned up Cadillac
Girl, lookin’ at you, lookin’ at me that way
Can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Yeah, your love, can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Yeah, your love, can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
You can give me a tab that’s always open
Or give me a yacht parked out in the ocean
But all that keepin’ with the Joneses
It just ain’t my style
Just give me some lights strung out in the yard
Give me a lawn chair under the stars
The top of the world’s right where you are
‘Cause every time you smile
You can make a six pack on the carpet
Taste like a million dollar bill
You can make a one bedroom apartment
Feel like a house up on the hill
You can make my truck out in the driveway
Roll like a cleaned up Cadillac
Girl, lookin’ at you, lookin’ at me that way
Can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Yeah, your love, can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Yeah, your love, can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
You can make a six pack on the carpet
Taste like a million dollar bill
You can make a one bedroom apartment
Feel like a house up on the hill
You can make my truck out in the driveway
Roll like a cleaned up Cadillac
Girl, lookin’ at you, looking at me that way
Can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Yeah, your love, can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Yeah, your love, can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Girl, your love, can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
