Lyrics

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
