Story Behind The Song
It occurred to me that Randy has all the material things a normal person would be happy with as well as musical talent and a lovely family and he's happy with it. It's the perfect song for Alan Jackson to sing because of what it celebrates in a down-to-earth fashion.

Lyrics
Yonder goes a rich man
with a little bitty slice of American Dream;
He's got a trouble-free mind and a song in his heart ;
there ain?t no record that he can?t sing !
Doesn?t need a big fine car;
he don?t care about a deal or a dollar or a doggone thing...
two little treasures and a lovin? wife
In his own little castle on Summertime Street?
Show me another man with a little piece of heaven
And a better day workin? when the sun wakes up.
Show me ?nother man with a life worth livin?
And a good guitar worth playin? when the day is done?
You know a good guitar?s worth playin? when the day is done
