Lyrics

momma had nothin
daddy didn't have much more
cardboard soles in wornout shoes
9 to 5 grind tattered clothes
hangin' on the line
that's when i found out
about the blues

and the neighbors next door
in 204 looked so refined
until i realized they were
only legends in their own minds

YOU CAN STRIKE IT RICH
YOU CAN STRIKE IT POOR

momma had nothin'
daddy didn't have much more
but they gave me sumpthin'
money can't buy (that's no lie)
as far as i've seen
the best times will ever be
growin' up rich with my
poor family
