I may not have a nickel to my name
I may never get my share of fortune or of fame
I may not rule the world but all the same
You're looking at the richest man in Texas
The clothes I own are wearing pretty thin
The wheels that I've been driving close to quitting now and then
Ain't held a dollar since I don't know when
But you're looking at the richest man in Texas
Way down in that valley stands my safe and happy home
Waiting there's the woman that I love
Eyes that shine like diamonds and a heart as good as gold
She's worth more than all the stars above
So if you see me wandering around
Stepping out in things that may not be the best in town
Before you find a way to put me down
Remember you're looking at the richest man in Texas
Way down in that valley stands my safe and happy home
Waiting there's the woman that I love
Eyes that shine like diamonds and a heart as good as gold
She's worth more than all the stars above
I may not have a nickel to my name
But you're looking at the richest man in Texas
Richest man in Texas
I'm the richest man in Texas
Richest man in Texas
