Havin' bad times, now I'm paying dues
Got shoes and money, good friends too
Always play to win, always seem to lose
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues

And I know what's going on
And I know that the way is too long
And I know just exactly what's on your mind
But you'll be back and I'll lose them forever

'Cause I'm wondering why, now, should I ask your name
All the people standing by, all there in the game
Love is just a story, a story without words
Words that always never seen and never even heard

I know what's going on
And I know that the way is too long
And I know just exactly what's on your mind
But you'll be back and I'll lose them, oh yeah

Know my good times, just payin' dues
I got shoes and money, good friends, too
No, I always play to win and always seem to lose
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues

I know what's going on
I know that some way is too long
I know that there's something on your mind
And I'll say to wave back and just prove it, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh oh oh
