Old Joe Riley |
| Old Joe Riley owned a fishin shack |
| With the ocean out front and the bay out back |
| He had a little boat and a fisherman s tan |
| When he wasn t out fishin he was sittin in the sand |
| Then the big boys came and they offered him millions |
| To put up some condos or a swank hotel |
| Old Joe Riley told them no thanks anyway |
| I could use the money but I just can t sell |
| A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell |
| A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell |
| Come on |
| He said I ve seen the cities eatin up small towns |
| Where you can t smell the breeze and it s cement ground |
| You pay to park your car but it ain t safe to walk |
| Nobody looks you in the eye, don t speak, don t talk |
| So when the big boys came and they offered him millions |
| To put up some condos or a swank hotel |
| Old Joe Riley told them no thanks anyway |
| I could use the money but I just can t sell |
| A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell |
| A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell |
| Here we go |
| Yeah the bank lock box there s a deed to some land |
| With his widow s gold ring a few grains of sand |
| Joe Riley s granddaughter s gonna face a big choice |
| I hope she remembers her granddaddy s voice |
| When the big boys came and they offered him millions |
| To put up some condos or a swank hotel |
| Old Joe Riley told them no thanks anyway |
| I could use the money but I just can t sell |
| A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell |
| A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell |
| A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell |
| A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell |
| Come on |
