[Verse 1]
COld Joe Riley owned a Gfishin' shack
With the Amocean out front and the Cbay out back
He had a little boat and a Gfisherman's tan
When he Amwasn't out fishin' he was Csittin' in the sand
[Chorus]
Then the Gbig boys came and they Coffered him millions
To Fput up some condos or a Cswank hoGtel
Old Joe Riley told them Amno thanks anyway
FI could use the money but I Cjust can't Gsell
A Clow rent heaven beats a Fhigh dollar hell
A Glow rent heaven beats a Chigh dollar hell Come on
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
He said I've seen the cities eatin' Gup small towns
Where you Amcan't smell the breeze and it's Fcement ground
You pay to Cpark your car but it Gain't safe to walk
Nobody Amlooks you in the eye, don't Fspeak, don't talk
[Chorus]
So when the Gbig boys came and they Coffered him millions
To Fput up some condos or a swank hoGtel
Old Joe Riley told them Amno thanks anyway
FI could use the money but I Cjust can't Gsell
A Clow rent heaven beats a Fhigh dollar hell
A Glow rent heaven beats a Chigh dollar hell Here we go

[Verse 3]
Yeah in a bank lock box there's a Gdeed to some land
With his Amwidow's gold ring an' a Ffew grains of sand
Joe Riley's Cgranddaughter's gonna Gface a big choice
I AMhope she remembers her Fgranddaddy's voice
[Chorus]
When the Gbig boys came and they Coffered him millions
To Fput up some condos or a Cswank hoGtel
Old Joe Riley told them Amno thanks anyway
FI could use the money but I Cjust can't Gsell
A Clow rent heaven beats a Fhigh dollar hell
A Glow rent heaven beats a Chigh dollar hell
A Clow rent heaven beats a Fhigh dollar hell
A Glow rent heaven beats a Chigh dollar hell Come on
