Lyrics

I GREET THE DAY AT SUNRISE
THEN I'M OFF TO MAKE ENDS MEET
TILL THE WHISTLE BLOWS AT 5:00
YOU KNOW I'M DEAD ON MY FEET
MY OLD TRUCK JUST BARELY RUNS
BUT I MAKE MY SECOND JOB ON TIME
THEN IT TAKES ME HOME JUST ABOUT DARK
YOU KNOW THAT'S WHERE I FIND

I'M THE RICHEST POOR MAN IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
GOT THE LOVE OF MY LIFE AT HOME WITH OUR BABY GIRL
THERE'S COB WEBS IN MY WALLET AND BILLS HIGH IN A PILE
BUT MY SWEETHEART'S GOT A MILLION DOLLAR SMILE
OH I'M THE RICHEST POOR IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD

SUNDAY MORNING WE'RE OFF TO CHURCH
I'LL FINALLY GET SOME REST
SITTING THERE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS
IN OUR CLEAN SIMPLE SUNDAY BEST
THEN ME AND MY GALS TAKE A PICNIC LUNCH
AND HEAD DOWN BY THE LAKE
TO SHARE A FEW LAUGHS AND A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE
HOW MUCH WEALTH CAN ONE MAN MAKE

I'M THE RICHEST POOR MAN IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
GOT THE LOVE OF MY LIFE AT HOME WITH OUR BABY GIRL
THE HOUSE NEEDS FIXIN' AND OUR CAR IS OLD
BUT MY DARLIN'S LOVE IS PURER THAN GOLD
OH I'M THE RICHEST POOR MAN IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD

IT TAKES TWO JOBS JUST TO PAY THE RENT
BUT I'LL TAKE HUGS AND KISSESS OVER DOLLARS AND CENTS
AND A PEACEFUL MIND WHEN MY HEAD HITS THE PILLOW AT NIGHT

OH I'M THE RICHEST POOR MAN IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
GOT THE LOVE OF MY LIFE AT HOME WITH OUR BABY GIRL
EACH DAY I LIVE MY DREAMS AND LOVE EVERY ONE
MY BUCKET LIST IS ALREADY DONE
BECAUSE I'M THE RICHEST POOR MAN IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD

EACH DAY I LIVE MY DREAMS AND LOVE EVERY ONE
MY BUCKET LIST IS ALREADY DONE
BECAUSE I'M THE RICHEST POOR MAN IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
