David Arthur Brown - Richer Man lyrics

They're downsizing John's department His hours got cut But he does the best he can And who's the richer man? He picked up some work on Tuesdays Mowing the lawns at a high school in Arlington And who's the richer man? Oh oh oh oh oh (3x) Who's the richer man? Charles made a lot on Wall Street He's got a house on the beach And goes jogging in the sand And who's the richer man? His girlfriend's just out of high school She looks like a model And she's got a lovely tan And who's the richer man? Oh oh oh oh oh (3x) Who's the richer man? And some they say That love's the only thing That drives the fear away I knew guy who took his life With 30 million in the bank When you're laying down to die And there ain't no one to love you By your side And who's the richer man? John camps with his son on weekends They fish in the river And eat baked beans from a can And who's the richer man? His wife likes to watch Sopranos She cats bowls of ice cream Fries bananas in a pan And who's the richer man? Oh oh oh oh oh (3x) Who's the richer man? Well Charles doesn't see his kids much They live with his ex And he gets 'em on odd weekends Who's the richer man? His girlfriend is off to rehab His stocks took a tumble And his drinking took off again Who's the richer man? Oh oh oh oh oh (3x) Who's the richer man?
