Rich Man?s Gold
The rich man?s gold or the poor man?s sole
What is a scale and measures pain
Story told or a dream gone cold
Footsteps leaving in the rain
Chorus
I been busted and I been broke
I was so down I couldn?t joke
But a been too proud to beg and afraid to stay
Seen the mountains and the ocean blue
Had love and a scuffle or two
And it seems I?d taken it all with a grain of sand
A candle light or a fire bright
Sometimes brought me to understand
The secret side etched upon my mind
And the simple things that people will demand
Chorus
I been busted and I been broke
I was so down I couldn?t joke
But a been too proud to beg and afraid to stay
Seen the mountains and the ocean blue
Had love and a scuffle or two
And it seems I?d taken it all with a grain of sand
