lyrics

Rich man can always take a cab ride, rich man he doesn't like to walk
Rich man got one hell of a bad side, when a rich man gotta walk a couple blocks
Rich man buys coffee every morning, rich man eats several meals a day
For rich man food's never ever boring and a rich man will throw what's left away
Rich man don't care about no ticket, rich man can always pay the fee
Rich man never tell no cop to stick it, cause a rich man never needs to disagree

Well we're all going down to that same part of town
Cause that same part of town is where we're bound
Though some may get there first, but it could be a whole lot worse
And you don't need to drive a hearse to get around

Rich man can always make an appointment, rich man will get the pills he needs
Rich man gets all the proper ointments, cause a rich man's got friends with PhD's
Rich man never pawned his daddy's wristwatch, rich man never taken nothing back
Rich man never worn his way through his socks cause a rich man never buys from off the rack
Rich man takes all kinds of vacation, rich man goes when he wants to go
Rich man gets his ticket at the station cause a rich man has never been told no

Well we're all going down to that same part of town
Cause that same part of town is where we're bound
Though some may get there first, but it could be a whole lot worse
And you don't need to drive a hearse to get around

Rich man got plenty of entertainment, rich man goes out night after night
Rich man he sure don't got to be patient, cause a rich man is always treated right
Rich man drinks scotch, champagne, and fine wine, rich man don't like the taste of beer
Rich man has happy hour at any time and a rich man buys bottles by the year
Rich man can always send her flowers, rich man can send em everyday
Rich man spends money every hour, but a rich man can't think of what to say

Well we're all going down to that same part of town
Cause that same part of town is where we're bound
Though some may get there first, but it could be a whole lot worse
And you don't need to drive a hearse to get around
