Lyrics Paul Overstreet

Paul Overstreet

Richest Man On Earth

I've heard tell of millionaires

And billionaires and such

Who gathered all their treasures

And still did not have enough

If money could buy peace of mind

I guess they'd have it all

But all the money in the world

Wouldn't hold you when you fall

We've got a roof over our head

And the kids have all been fed

And the women I love most

Lies close beside me in our bead

Lord, give me the eyes to see

Exactly what it's worth

And I will be the richest man on earth

Lord, when I wish I had the things

That you gave someone else

I pray that you'll forgive me

For just thinkin' of myself

I haven't been as thankful

As I know I ought to be

I should be more then satisfied

With all you've given me

One thing is for certain

It don't matter when you die

If you had a million

Or if you just got by

yes, I will be the richest man on earth
