Richest Man on Earth Lyrics

Richest Man On Earth
By Paul Overstreet

This is played in Drop D tuning but you don??t have to
set it up that way to play along like this:
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
Chrosu:
We've got a roof over our head and the kids have all been fed
And the women 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 wish 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 then satisfied with all you've given me
Bridge:
One thing is for certain
It don't matter when you die
If you had a million
Or if you just got by
Yes, I will be the richest man on earth
