Lyrics
Tell me there’s a mountain made of platinum and gold
Tell me how to be a millionaire
Tell me ev’ry tale of wealth that ever has been told
And I will tell you, “Mister, I don’t care”
Refrain
Let me sing, give me a melody
I don’t need very much to be
Living the life I love
If a song takes you away from care
Look around and you’ll find me there
Living the life I love
Just let me earn my daily keep
I don’t need a bank full
And when I lay me down to sleep
If I just wake up in the morning I’m thankful
In my heart I have my treasures stored
Thank the Lord, I’m living
Living the life I love
