Wealthy Women

(Words & Music by Christopher Kent)

Once I knew a lady, she wanted me for her own
But she always made me sit up straight and leave my teeth alone
She was a wealthy woman, and I guess it was plain to see
She knew all the social graces, and she bothered the hell out of me

Chorus:
And so I’m giving up the high life
It’s love, not money, gonna see me through
And all them wealthy women
Ain’t got nothing at all on you

Sometimes I get the urge when I’m lying in bed with you
To light up a cigarette and talk real low like the guys in the movies do
But when I feel your body pressing up close to mine
I don’t need no degree in acting to know I’m feeling fine

[Chorus]

Now some like living in the upper strata
Where the rich get richer and the poor don’t matter
But I’d rather get you than a phone or a bar
In the back seat of my car

I don’t know what I’d call you—connoisseur ain’t the term
Filet mignon doesn’t turn you on and fish eggs make you squirm
But I think I might go crazy if your tastes were more refined
And you know I’d rather live on grits and gravy than lose my peace of mind

Chorus
