lyrics

When I was young, my pa said son, it's time to build the dream
Send away for the 'Frisco Bay and rake that do-re-mi
There are fortunes to be made, but boy that living don't come cheap
So sink your time and you might find the bounties that you seek

I took on every word he said and found that I agreed
So I strapped my belt one notch too tight and dusted both my knees
Greased my elbows inside out, whipped 'round to face the breeze
And I worked around the clock for everything that I might need

Now I've got a house right on the harbor, it's got a swimming pool out back
I've heard it's quite relaxing, I can't wait to take a splash
But I clock it in to satiate desires that I feed
I am a man of means

I've got a cherry Harley-Davidson, silver, chrome and black
I took it for a spin one time, it hasn't nary a scratch
But I still recall the wind in my hair as I made that engine scream
I am a man of means

Now I stand before you, old and grey, accomplished all my dreams
I've got boats and trucks and jet skis nearly bursting out the seams
Spick and span, they're just like new, I'll sell them to you cheap
For I'm a man of means
