Lyrics

Old Joe Riley owned a fishin shack
With the ocean out front and the bay out back
He had a little boat and a fishermans tan
When he wasnt out fishin he was sittin in the sand
Then the big boys came and they offered him millions
To put up some condos or a swank hotel
Old Joe Riley told them no thanks anyway
I could use the money but I just cant sell
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
Come on
He said Ive seen the cities eatin up small towns
Where you cant smell the breeze and its cement ground
You pay to park your car but it aint safe to walk
Nobody looks you in the eye, dont speak, dont talk
So when the big boys came and they offered him millions
To put up some condos or a swank hotel
Old Joe Riley told them no thanks anyway
I could use the money but I just cant sell
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
Here we go
Yeah the bank lock box theres a deed to some land
With his widows gold ring a few grains of sand
Joe Rileys granddaughters gonna face a big choice
I hope she remembers her granddaddys voice
When the big boys came and they offered him millions
To put up some condos or a swank hotel
Old Joe Riley told them no thanks anyway
I could use the money but I just cant sell
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
Come on
