lyrics

Written by Quillan Roe

Don’t worry about the rich man; he’s doing just fine
Don’t worry about the rich man; he’s doing just fine
Don’t worry about the rich man; he’s doing just fine
Hey, brother, can you spare a dime

The rich man he wears nine hundred dollar shoes x3
The poor man wraps his feet in paper news
The rich man he eats in a restaurant so fine x3
While the poor man's standing in the ol’ bread line

The rich man he owns all the media time x3
The poor man has a corner cardboard sign
Rich kids wanna go to college, they ain't worried about a thing x3
for the Rich Man's gonna bribe their way in

The rich man he never has to answers for his crimes x3
When he gets caught it's his money doing time
The rich man he treats all women like a toy x3
When he gets caught he’s a crying baby boy

I love both John's and Dylan's voices. The quality of these songs, the lyrics, the melodies, as well as the way the band performed them and the way the instruments and voices were recorded is just heartwarming. I love this album so much. It just never gets old. Dylan, John and everyone involved with this project, thank you for creating something so special. steveguion

I own all the other Charlie Parr albums...somehow missed this one. Great singer-songwriter with nothing but a resonator and stomping boot. Great like always. Bart
