Oliver Anthony - Rich Man's Gold lyrics
[Oliver Anthony - Rich Man's Gold lyrics]
Granddaddy grew up on dirt floors
The whole county was dirt poor
Momma died when he was four
What a damn shame
They grew tobacco and raised hogs
Seven youngins and some old dogs
I reckon they were livin' high on the hog
Way back in their day
He'd say, "You won't born
To just pay bills and die"
You won't born to just pay bills and die
All you need is a dog
A shack with a creek in the back
And a, a good woman to hold
You don't need that rich man's gold
People walkin' down easy street
Actin' like they've got hot
Coals under their feet
But they ain't been a day
Without nothin' to eat
You bet the farm on that
You gotta start livin' off the land
And livin' on love
Givin' up thanks to the Lord above
'Cause, when they put you down
In that cold dark ground
You gonna wish you won't born to
Just pay bills and die
You won't born to just pay bills and die
All you need is a dog
A shack with a creek in the back
And a a good woman to hold
Don't need that rich man's gold
The whole county was dirt poor
Momma died when he was four
What a damn shame
They grew tobacco and raised hogs
Seven youngins and some old dogs
I reckon they were livin' high on the hog
Way back in their day
He'd say, "You won't born
To just pay bills and die"
You won't born to just pay bills and die
All you need is a dog
A shack with a creek in the back
And a, a good woman to hold
You don't need that rich man's gold
People walkin' down easy street
Actin' like they've got hot
Coals under their feet
But they ain't been a day
Without nothin' to eat
You bet the farm on that
You gotta start livin' off the land
And livin' on love
Givin' up thanks to the Lord above
'Cause, when they put you down
In that cold dark ground
You gonna wish you won't born to
Just pay bills and die
You won't born to just pay bills and die
All you need is a dog
A shack with a creek in the back
And a a good woman to hold
Don't need that rich man's gold
