Paul Overstreet - Richest Man On Earth lyrics

rate me

Well I've heard tell of millionaires and billionaires and such

Who gathered all their treasures and still did not have enough

If money could buy peace of mind I guess they'd have it all

But all the money in the world won't hold you when you fall

Chorus:

We've got a roof over our heads

And the kids have all been fed

And the woman I love most lies close beside me in our bed

Lord give me the eyes to see exactly what it's worth

And I will be the richest man on earth

Lord when I wished I had the things that you gave someone else

I pray that you'll forgive me for just thinkin' of myself

I haven't been as thankful as I know I ought to be

I should be more than satisfied with all you've given me

Chorus

We've got a roof over our heads

And the kids have all been fed

And the woman I love most lies close beside me in our bed

Lord give me the eyes to see exactly what it's worth

And I will be the richest man on earth

One thing is for certain it don't matter when you die

If you had a million or if you just got by

Chorus

We've got a roof over our heads

And the kids have all been fed

And the woman I love most lies close beside me in our bed

Lord give me the eyes to see exactly what it's worth

And I will be the richest man on earth

Yes I will be the richest man on earth.
