Rich Man

Men are measured by the wealth they accrue
at least by the women i knew
otherwise your going to get screwed
for the poor man stands no chance
as the tax man takes his ranch
he`s left standing at the dance
not enough money in his pants
so he can`t afford romance
he doesn`t make enough you see
in order to pay her fee
he can`t take her far in his hundred dollar car
so she falls for the rock star
he just sings and plays guitar
as they dance at all the fancy bars
smoking fancy cigars
until she needed emotional support
he never did report
he just filed for divorce
moved in with his mistress of course
never showing remorse
so now she considers the source
before she mounts a rich horse
