Finer Things In Life

Lyrics

She was born and raised in Natchez The daughter of a wealthy Natchez man She never wanted for a thing in life That her folks didn't lay right in her hands She drove the finest cars Lived in a ninety bedroom home She was used to the finer things In life till I came along I was born and raised in Memphis Grew up in a rundown river shack Never owned anything more than The clothes hanging on my back But the first time that she touched mе Wiped out all the hard times I'd known I nеver knew about the finer things In life till she came along She's as soft as a whisper Gentle as the stories mama told And the sound of her laughter Flows like the river to the dry And dusty deserts of my soul Her folks they've never liked me 'Cause all that I could offer her is love Can't buy her fancy clothes An' give her cars and vacations on the go An' all she's ever wanted Was a poor river boy from Tennessee Now the lady thinks the finest thing In life is lovin' me Yes, the lady thinks the finest thing In life is lovin' me
