Granddaddy grew up on dirt floors The whole county was dirt poor Momma died when he was four What a damn shame
They grew tobacco and raised hogs Seven youngins and some old dogs I reckon they were living high on the hog Way back in their day
He'd say you won't born to just to pay bills and die You wont born to just pay bills and die All you need is a dog, a shack with a creek in the back, And a good woman to hold You don't need that Rich Man's Gold
People walking down easy street Acting like they've got hot coals under their feet But they ain't been one day without nothing to eat You can bet the farm on that
You gotta start living off the land, and living on love Giving up thanks to the Lord above Cause when they put you down, in that cold dark ground
You gonna wish you won't born to just pay bills and die You wont born to just pay bills and die All you need is a dog, a shack, with a creek in the back And a good woman to hold Don't need that Rich Man's Gold
