Another old man on the porch with a bottle Wind blows and the old rocking chair wobbles He’s just a waving, everybody’s welcomed All he can say about the youth is Lord help ‘em Gotta couple grandbabies but they never call though Let him in the South and they moved to Chicago Wife’s in Heaven and he says ever since Vietnam life’s been hard as a veteran Simple life just a 6-pack, ice cold Crossed the Georgia line for a ticket for the Lotto Probably never see his name in the headlines But if I had a plane I’d put it in the sky She’s in love yeah, friends call her crazy Met him at a party they started dating Daddy’s little angel, mama’s little lady Only sixteen now Brenda’s got a baby She can’t afford to, drop out of high school Jimmy’s not a man and he can’t provide you He doesn’t want to, but you kept it anyhow Nine months down the road, whatcha gonna do now? Go to the food stamp office and apply If you find a job it’ll help you get by And you made it when you didn’t know how Now that’s a real star, put her name in clouds You may never be on television Or be the one your boss at work loves Giving you employee of the month You may never be the first string on a champion team You may be the star the world just hasn’t seen But that don’t make you any less of a star to God Being rich is only realizing it’s all a facade You’re richer than you think in that old small town Cause people like you make the world go round
