Rich Is

He threw his platinum card on the airport bar in his three-piece custom suit

He ordered a scotch, I sat there and watched, and said "Man, I wish I was you"

I was down on my luck when the old man shrugged and said, "Yeah, son, the money's nice"

He said, "I made a pretty good livin', but I sure paid the price

So let me give you some free advice"

It ain't the house on the hill, it's the love that's in it

Ain't this old Rolex, it's the minutes that you're given

Ain't the name on the hood of the car that you buy

It's the car seat concert you get when you drive

Ain't the money that you make that makes the man

Ain't the gold in the bank, it's the gold on her hand

It's a life full of kids with their love, and their hugs, and their kisses

That's what rich is

Saw a picture of him and his kids on the screen and said, "Wow, so you've got four!"

Well, I've got two, they're down in Baton Rouge, but they don't talk to me no more

And that pretty brunette you've got on your left, I had one myself

But I was married to my job, and now she's married to someone else

So what you've got, man, that's wealth

It ain't the house on the hill, it's the love that's in it

Ain't this old Rolex, it's the minutes that you're given

Ain't the name on the hood of the car that you buy

It's the car seat concert you get when you drive

Ain't the money that you make that makes the man

Ain't the gold in the bank, it's the gold on her hand

It's a life full of kids with their love, and their hugs, and their kisses

That's what rich is

Yeah, that's what rich is

Then he shook my hand and he bought my beer, and said

"Man, I ain't the rich one here"

It ain't the house on the hill, it's the love that's in it

Ain't this old Rolex, it's the minutes that you're given

Ain't the name on the hood of the car that you buy

It's the car seat concert you get when you drive

Ain't the money that you make that makes the man

Ain't the gold in the bank, it's the gold on her hand

It's a life full of kids with their love, and their hugs, and their kisses

That's what rich is

Oh, that's what rich is
