Lyrics

I'D BE A RICH MAN NOW Copyright - Earl.C.Webb






THERE WAS A BIG BLACK SKY
I SAID, BECKY, IT LOOKS LIKE RAIN AGAIN TODAY
SHE SAID, THE RIVERS GOING TO BREAK APART
AND WASH EVERYTHING WE GOT AWAY
AND IF IT WASN'T FOR THE WEATHER
AND THE CHOICES THAT I MADE
I'D BE A RICH MAN NOW, I'D BE A RICH MAN NOW

OH IT WASHED AWAY THE HOUSE WE'D BUILT
AND TOOK EVERYTHING WE HAD
BUT MY PRIDE WOULDN'T LET ME ACCEPT NO HELP
SO I'M AFRAID I STARTED DRINKING BAD
AND IF I STILL HAD THE MONEY
AND I HADN'T LOST THE FARM
I'D BE A RICH MAN NOW, I'D BE A RICH MAN NOW

M/8
ALL MY POSSESSIONS MEAN NOTHING TO ME
BUT THERE'S A HOLE IN MY LIFE WHERE SHE USED TO BE

BREAK

OH I CAN'T BLAME THE WEATHER
CAUSE IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY PRIDE
I'D STILL HAVE MY DREAMS
AND MY BECKY BY MY SIDE
I'D BE A RICH MAN NOW, I'D BE A RICH MAN NOW...
