if i were rich, id be dead
cos id let all that money
go straight to my head
id do lines and lines and drink and gamble
myself to the red
so thank god i aint rich or id be dead

well i grew up poor but dad he did
lots of real hard work
we moved around from town to town
as he moved from church to church
when ya grow up poor you never
know what its like to spend
that money'll make ya crazy when ya got it
so be careful my friend

chorus

well ive never had a lot but i know
what money can buy
and if i had a lot thered be a lotta things
id like to try
spendin my days gettin fucked up
with my friends
probly wake up lyin face down
in the mud again

chorus
