Make You Rich

Well, maybe it's because of where I'm from

Ain't nobody living in a high rise

I go to work early with the rising sun

And say a little prayer when I close my eyes

Amen

When I think back when the way

I was raised and the way I think

A man isn't measured by

More than a treasure stacked up in the bank

Be a better man than your old man was

Give a damn when nobody else does

Love your woman like you're paid to

Like you ain't afraid to

Like she was made for you

And be a good friend when a good friend needs you

Have a little faith when no one believes it

When it comes to love, I'll tell you this

You gotta give it like the giving's gonna make you rich

The more I look around the world these days

The more and more I'm sure now

We'd be better off if we all were raised

Down an old two-lane and a three church town

Amen

I remember back when the day

I was heading up to Tennessee

We all joined hands by my beat up

And they prayed this prayer for me

Be a better man than your old man was

Give a damn when nobody else does

Love your woman like you're paid to

Like you ain't afraid to

Like she was made for you

And be a good friend when a good friend needs you

Have a little faith when no one believes it

When it comes to love, I'll tell you this

You gotta give it like the giving's gonna make you rich

Be a better man than your old man was

Give a damn when nobody else does

Love your people like you're paid to

Like you ain't afraid to

Like you were made to do

Do a little good for no good reason

Read a good book when your soul needs freedom

When it comes to love, they taught me this

Boy never forget

When it comes to love, I'll tell you this

You gotta give it like the giving's gonna make you rich

Like the giving's gonna make you rich

Yeah, hey
