The Rich Life of a Poor Man

Lyrics

[Intro] If you've got the time, I've got a story to tell Of how I lost my money in a wishing well And I know it's all just a distant memory But I hope that you'll remember me [Verse 1] I wanted out through the hard times Felt every doubt more than one time And I'll sit it out, watch the world pass from the sidelines Hoping I'm not just a punchline in a joke I didn't get [Pre-Chorus] But I would never let it go down that way 'Cause at the end of the day [Chorus] If you've got the time, I've got a story to tell Of how I lost my money in a wishing well And I know it's all just a distant memory But I hope that you'll remember me Summertime brought a falling feeling Loose change spent on hopeless dreaming And I know it's a distant memory But I hope that you'll remember me [Verse 2] I've broken down ten miles away I've seen the sun, I've burnt my face It's not that clever I'm throwing coins into the blue Wishful thinking coming true So, look around, take in the view It's getting better [Pre-Chorus] Because I never let it go down that way And at the end of the day [Chorus] If you've got the time, I've got a story to tell Of how I lost my money in a wishing well And I know it's all just a distant memory But I hope that you'll remember me Summertime brought a falling feeling Loose change spent on hopeless dreaming And I know it's a distant memory But I hope that you'll remember me [Bridge] I wanted out 'Cause I saw disaster I watched it break when it bent I wanted out 'Cause I saw disaster I watched it break when it bent It's all a means to an end, a means to end [Chorus] If you've got the time, I've got a story to tell Of how I lost my money in a wishing well And I know it's all just a distant memory But I hope that you'll remember me Summertime brought a falling feeling Loose change spent on hopeless dreaming And I know it's a distant memory But I hope that you'll remember me [Outro] Summertime brought a falling feeling You'll remember me Summertime brought a falling feeling But I hope that you'll remember me
