Lyrics

Going with the Flow
I take my lumps when I fall
I’d be lying to say it don't hurt much at all
Most of the time I hit hard when I fall
I hit hard, so hard when I fall

I’m going with the flow
Riding on the tide
Drifting 'oer the sea
Take me where I’m bound to be

I’ve been swept right off of my feet
While trying to hold on to deep rooted trees
Their changing wind set me back on my feet
Those winds set me back on my feet

I’m going with the flow
Riding on the tide
Drifting 'oer the sea
Take me where I’m bound to be

Now I don't know where I’m going
At times this frightens me
Still I trust not knowing, ‘cause I know

I’m going with the flow
Riding on the tide
Drifting 'oer the sea
Take me where I’m bound to be

I Feel Rich
Here I stand strumming my guitar
Counting my blessings ‘cause I’ve traveled far
I’ve grown up faster than a speeding car
Made a few wrong turns, now I’m slowing down with minimal scars

You see, I made my way past the welfare line
Working night and day for a nickel and dime
It’s what a mama does to feed her child
I feel rich every time I seen my baby smile

Every story, pain or glory, hold your head up high
There’s buried pleasures wealth and treasure money just can’t buy

I’ve done my job, my baby’s grown
He’s a hard working man living on his own
Still worries ‘bout his mama being all alone
So he found me a fella who’s keepin’ me company at home

He don’t mind where I come from
If I dance to rhythm of a different drum
He’s crazy ‘bout the woman that I’ve become
I feel rich when I’m tangled with my bundle of love

Every story, pain or glory, hold your head up high
There’s buried pleasures wealth and treasure money just can’t buy

I thank God for where I’m at
All my troubles are at my back
I’m older; I’m wiser; as a matter of fact
I’m happy as a clam; purring with my lazy ole cat
I’m happy as a clam; purring with my lazy ole cat
I feel so rich; I’m happy as a clam; I’m purring like a lazy ole cat
