Well 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 won't hold you when you fall

We've got a roof over our heads

And the kids have all been fed

And the woman I love most lies close beside me in our bed

Lord give me the eyes to see exactly what it's worth

I will be the richest man on earth

Lord when I wished 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 than satisfied with all you've given me

We've got a roof over our heads

And the kids have all been fed

And the woman I love most lies close beside me in our bed

Lord give me the eyes to see exactly what it's worth

I will be the richest man on earth

One thing is for certain it don't matter when you die

If you had a million or if you just got by

We've got a roof over our heads

And the kids have all been fed

And the woman I love most lies close beside me in our bed

Lord give me the eyes to see exactly what it's worth

And I will be the richest man on earth

Yes I will be the richest man on earth
