Rich Man

Lyrics

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" I could his patience wearin' thin 'Bout the time I overhead Old overalls bring us all back down to earth [Chorus] Said, "Rich man 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 you when you die Buy your time or hold your wife and kids' hands And that's what makes you rich, man" [Verse 2] He said, "Boys, love 'em while you can Oh, 'cause it all goes fast Mine left ten years ago And you ain't whole without a better half" Man, it hit him like a ton of bricks And all of a sudden, I had it all Havin' a house full of love at home Feels like I won the Powerball [Chorus] 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 you 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 rich, man" [Bridge] He said, "It ain't no secret, havin' money's nice But makin' a livin' ain't what makes a life" [Chorus] 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 you when you die Buy your time or hold your wife and kids' hands And that's what makes you rich, man That's what makes you rich, man That's what makes you rich, man
