Rich in Misery ©2010 Jody Dickey/James Odle Jr / Terry Lynn Falcone She appears to him each night like an angel bathed in pale moonlight every night he made her cry till he told her baby blues good-bye convincing his stubborn mind that he did the only right thing this time she deserved diamonds and gold instead of poor country girl down a old dirt road Poor little rich man Counting them blessings Dreaming up plans Always keeping him guessin’ Now he stands Alone with his memories He’s Just a poor little rich man Rich in misery Well she moved out to Frisco slingin’ them beers in a topless go-go but one night in the stage lights a man saw more than the usual sights now he’s given her a brand new name and she’s well on her way to all the fortune and fame drops a line to him now and then with a prayer for the future that might have been (repeat chorus) On a hot sleepless August night packed up a bag and caught a red-eye flight and as his eyes filled with lonesome tears he realized he’d been lovin’ her all these years took a while just to track her down to that shabby little go-go west of town they knew her well, but that very day....... she ran off with a Mormon headed Utah way (repeat chorus)
