[00:00.00]Old Joe Riley - Dean Brody
[00:15.65]Old Joe Riley owned a fishin' shack
[00:18.90]With the ocean out front and the bay out back
[00:22.34]He had a little boat and a fisherman's tan
[00:25.92]When he wasn't out fishin' he was sittin' in the sand
[00:29.38]
[00:31.22]Then the big boys came and they offered him millions
[00:35.18]To put up some condos or a swank hotel
[00:38.79]Old Joe Riley told them no thanks anyway
[00:42.50]I could use the money but I just can't sell
[00:45.93]A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
[00:49.39]A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
[00:52.98]Come on
[00:53.39]
[01:00.10]He said I've seen the cities eatin' up small towns
[01:03.98]Where you can't smell the breeze and it's cement ground
[01:07.48]You pay to park your car but it ain't safe to walk
[01:10.95]Nobody looks you in the eye don't speak don't talk
[01:14.52]
[01:16.36]So when the big boys came and they offered him millions
[01:20.25]To put up some condos or a swank hotel
[01:23.32]
[01:23.89]Old Joe Riley told them no thanks anyway
[01:27.66]I could use the money but I just can't sell
[01:31.09]A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
[01:34.59]A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
[01:37.88]Here we go
[01:38.60]
[01:52.50]Yeah the bank lock box there's a deed to some land
[01:56.20]With his widow's gold ring a few grains of sand
[02:00.02]Joe Riley's granddaughter's gonna face a big choice
[02:03.51]I hope she remembers her granddaddy's voice
[02:07.35]
[02:08.60]When the big boys came and they offered him millions
[02:12.72]To put up some condos or a swank hotel
