Poor man livin' on the boulevard Wealthy man drivin' by in a sports car Little girl in a 3rd world city Old lady still tryin' to look pretty So let us pray it's not too late To line those pockets with grace Everybody's just tryin' to be happy Line those pockets with grace Everybody's just tryin' to be happy So put your money away Line those pockets with grace Sore loser out to get revenge Old boozer out sleepin' on a park bench Desperate sinners always up to no good All the kids that kick the can in the neighborhood So let us pray it's not too late To line those pockets with grace Everybody's just tryin' to be happy Line those pockets with grace Everybody's just tryin' to be happy So put your money away Line those pockets with grace Big game hunters in the camouflage pickup trucks All the hippies in the tie dye school bus Bus boys scrapin' by sweepin' up the restaurants Little women sippin' wine like some débutants Everybody's whose wishin' for a valentine Stranded at the borderline, prayin' for a better time Wounded soldier when he gets back home Millionaire's got it all but he's still alone Everybody's just tryin' to be happy Line those pockets with grace Everybody's just tryin' to be happy So put your money away Line those pockets with grace
