Rich Man

If I had a lifetime

The way I'm leaving might catch up to me, yeah

If I had a dollar every time you told me

This could end in misery, oh

Well, I would be a rich man

Drowning in quicksand, no one else to rescue me

So busy counting fool's gold

I'd hoped I'd buy my way to victory

Don't hold me down again

I never thought I'd get through

I can't afford to go back, go back, go back, go back so soon

If I had it all

Would letting go be harder than it needs to be?

If I had a dollar every time my heart skipped

Even just a couple beats

Well, I would be a rich man

Life can be a bitch, man, I don't let it worry me

A king upon my wood throne

Carved on by ever-present company

Don't hold me down again

I never thought I'd get through

I can't afford to go back, go back, go

Back, go back, go back, go back so soon
