Lyrics
Rich in Misery
©2013 Jody Dickey / James Odle Jr/ Bob Wyatt
She pleads with him to stay the night
baby blues sparkle in the pale moonlight
married to another, she knows his lie
either way he won’t tell New York good-bye
Told herself there’s a way this time
deception’s easy to a desperate mind
he could be her ticket to so much more
than this rundown shack with a red dirt floor
Poor little rich girl
Running low on blessings
Alone in the world
Never learning her lesson
Cheating men
And sad memories
Of a poor little rich girl
Rich in misery
Put some money together moved her to Frisco
she’s a headline girl in a topless go-go
she was a hit of the show that first night
she dancing just for him under those red stage lights
She gave herself a Broadway name
the closest thing to any New York fame
every weekend business brought him back there
left a wife n kids but she didn’t care
(repeat chorus)
From miles away see those Frisco lights
you see ‘em arrive on those red-eye flights
heading to a place they’ve heard of for years
always a good show and an ice cold beer
If you’re ever out Frisco way
little time to kill and need a place to play……
(repeat chorus)
Poor little rich girl
Running low on blessings
Alone in the world
Never learning her lesson…..
