“Richest Man on Earth” peaked at #3 for Paul on the country charts. He is saying in this song that money doesn’t buy happiness. You can be loaded and still be unhappy, or you can be just getting by financially and be the happiest person around. It depends on whether you’ve gotten what you want ou...
[Verse 1]
Well, I've heard tale 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Lord, when I wished I had the things that you gave someone else
I pray that you'll forgive me for just thinking 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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
One thing is for certain, it don't matter when you die
If you had a million, or if you just got by
[Chorus]
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
