Words & Music by Tedd Swormstedt

He taught me that there’s strength in numbers
Don’t count cash count on each other
Cause money comes and goes but good friends don’t
He’s the kind a friend that everybody wants
He’s got your back no matter what
He’d give you his last cigarette but he don’t smoke

He don’t drive a Mercedes Benz
But this whole zip code calls him friend
Says a man ain’t measured by things or money
It’s the hearts he touches in everybody
What you give comes back as gold
And he’s the richest man I know

Got a family of eight and he works two jobs
Six days a week gives one to God
Teaches them to be thankful what they’ve got
You won’t find his name on any Forbes top list
But his got the love of his wife and kids
Says that’s worth more than a million yachts

He don’t drive a Mercedes Benz
But this whole zip code calls him friend
Says a man ain’t measured by things or money
It’s the hearts he touches in everybody
What you give comes back as gold
And he’s the richest man I know

It rained the day the angels called him home
And I swear those raindrops sparkled like gold

He don’t drive a Mercedes Benz
But this whole zip code calls him friend
Says a man ain’t measured by things or money
It’s the hearts he touches in everybody
What you give comes back as gold
And he’s the richest man I know

He taught me that there’s strength in numbers
Don’t count cash count on each other
