Rich Man Songtext
One was in a three-piece suit
One was in overalls
Bellied up on a couple stools
And I was a barfly on the wall
Three-piece came straight from work
Said, "Man, ain't it a shame?
Stock market took a bath today
And I was just tryna watch the game"
One was in overalls
Bellied up on a couple stools
And I was a barfly on the wall
Three-piece came straight from work
Said, "Man, ain't it a shame?
Stock market took a bath today
And I was just tryna watch the game"
I could see his patience wearing thin
'Bout the time I overheard
Old overalls bring us all back down to earth
He said, "Rich man
Well, I know you didn't ask, but I'll say this, man
All the money in the world, it don't mean shit, man
'Cause it can't go with ya when you die
Buy your time or hold your wife and kids' hands
And that's what makes you rich, man"
He said, "Boys, love 'em while you can
Aw, 'cause it all goes fast
Mine left ten years ago
And you ain't whole without a better half"
Man, it hit me like a ton of bricks
And all of a sudden, I had it all
Having a house full of love at home
Feels like I won the Powerball
Said, "Rich man
Well, I know you didn't ask, but I'll say this, man
All the money in the world, it don't mean shit, man
'Cause it can't go with ya when you die
Buy your time or hold your wife and kids' hands
That's what makes you rich, man
That's what makes you a rich man"
He said, "It ain't no secret, having money's nice
But making a living ain't what makes a life"
