  1. Rich Man

From the recording Midnight at the Hilltop Hotel

The price I'll never have to pay.

Lyrics

Rich Man
I feel like I'm a rich man,
Though I play my songs for change.
Sometimes I play 'til night turns into day.
And it doesn't really matter,
If I go nowhere at all.
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm right here down and dirty.
Feeling safe and sound.
I'm down so low I got nowhere to fall.
The big time has a price tag,
Or so I've heard 'em say.
It's a price I know I'll never have to pay.
'Cause I'm a rich man with no money,
Ahhh, but friends as good as gold.
(Chorus)
I've been hurt enough to feel the tune.
To strum the song or maybe cry the blues.
I'm gonna' play until I'm just too old.
(Additional choral break)
'Cause the music means everything,
As the night turns into day.
Has a way of taking the bad times,
Pat your back, man. Gonna be OK.
And it doesn't make the difference,
If we don't get paid at all.
When you’re down so low,
You got nowhere to call.
I guess you know I love you,
But it's not my style to say.
See the song wrote me a line and so I play.
And it doesn't really matter,
If our love's nowhere at all.
(Chorus)
I've been hurt enough to feel the tune.
To strum the song or maybe cry the blues.
I'm gonna' play until I'm just too old.
(Additional choral break)
'Cause the music means everything,
As the night turns into day.
Has a way of taking the sad times,
Hold your hand, man. Gonna be OK.
And it doesn't make the difference,
If we don't get paid at all.
When you're down so low,
You got nowhere...
You're down this low
And you got nowhere...
You're down this low
And there's no place left to crawl.
So tell me ma, "Why do I keep fallin'?"
Tell me ma...
Oh please...
Tell me ma, "Why do I keep fallin'?"
