Richer Man Lyrics - Singles - David Arthur Brown

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?
