"Make You Rich" lyrics

Well, maybe it's because of where I'm from
Ain't nobody livin' in a highrise
I go to work early with the risin' sun
And say a little prayer when I close my eyes, amen

When I think back when
The way I was raised and the way I think
A man is measured by more than the treasures
Stacked up in the bank

Be a better man than your old man was
Give a damn damn when nobody else does
Love your woman like you're paid to, like you ain't afraid to
Like she was made for you
And be a good friend when a good friend needs it
Have a little faith when no one believes it
When it comes to love, I'll tell you this
You gotta give it like the giving's gonna make you rich

The more I look around the world these days
The more and more I'm sure now
We'd be better off if we all were raised
Down an old two-lane and a three-church town, amen

I remember back when
The day I was headin' up to Tennessee
We all joined hands by my beat-up van
And they prayed this prayer for me

Be a better man than your old man was
Give a damn damn when nobody else does
Love your woman like you're paid to, like you ain't afraid to
Like she was made for you
And be a good friend when a good friend needs it
Have a little faith when no one believes it
When it comes to love, I'll tell you this
You gotta give it like the giving's gonna make you rich

Be a better man than your old man was
Give a damn damn when nobody else does
Love your people like you're paid to, like you ain't afraid to
Like you were made to do
Do a little good for no good reason
Read the good book when your soul needs freedom
When it comes to love, they taught me this
Boy, never forget
When it comes to love, I'll tell you this
You gotta give it like the giving's gonna make you rich

Like the giving's gonna make you rich
Yeah
