This Thing Called Wantin` And Havin` It — текст песни (Sawyer Brown)

Rich man grew old, owned a mansion on top of the hill
Now he`s sitting at the table with his lawyer
Goin` over his will `cause he`s ill
The kids don`t call, they`re waitin` for the man to die
He`s gonna leave `em all a little somethin`
But they`re gonna be real surprised
There`s a poor man livin` on a budget at the bottom of the hill

With a wife and two kids and a worried mind
About how he`s gonna pay the bills
Well, only the rich man knows see,
That`s where a lot of his money goes
To the man that brought wood in the winter
To take a little weight off his shoulders

Chorus
There`s this thing called wantin` and havin` it all
If you`re gonna get there you`re gonna have to walk
But first you`ll have to crawl
And you know you`ve gotta do it step by step
Miss one and you`ll fall into this well
Called wantin` and havin` it all

Poor man has everything that the rich man don`t
He`s got love in his life and his heart
He`s got a house he calls home
The rich man owns everything from miles around
But what he needs can`t be bought it has to be found

His rich kids think that they`re better `cause they`re better off
That`s how they grew up thinkin` and now
He thinks it`s all his fault
So while there`s still time the daddy that they nickel and dime
Is gonna make `em learn to take a turn
And stand in line

Chorus

Bridge
See life`s full of changes
And wantin` right now what you only see in your dreams
I know you don`t like it and think
It`s the strangest thing you`ve ever seen ... well
There ain`t nothin` you can do about it

Chorus
