This Thing Called Wantin' And Havin' It All Lyrics - Sawyer Brown

Rich man grew old, owned a mansion on top of the hill 

Now he's sitting at the table with his lawyer 

Goin' over his will 'cause he's ill 

The kids don't call, they're waitin' for the man to die 

He's gonna leave 'em all a little somethin' 

But they're gonna be real surprised 

There's a poor man livin' on a budget at the bottom of the hill 

With a wife and two kids and a worried mind 

About how he's gonna pay the bills 

Well, only the rich man knows see 

That's where a lot of his money goes 

To the man that brought wood in the winter 

To take a little weight off his shoulders 

There's this thing called wantin' and havin' it all 

If you're gonna get there you're gonna have to walk 

But first you'll have to crawl 

And you know you've gotta do it step by step 

Miss one and you'll fall into this well 

Called wantin' and havin' it all 

Poor man has everything that the rich man don't 

He's got love in his life and his heart 

He's got a house he calls home 

The rich man owns everything from miles around 

But what he needs can't be bought, it has to be found 

His rich kids think that they're better 'cause they're better off 

That's how they grew up thinkin' and now he thinks it's all his fault 

So while there's still time the daddy that they nickel and dime 

Is gonna make 'em learn to take a turn and stand in line 

There's this thing called wantin' and havin' it all 

If you're gonna get there you're gonna have to walk 

But first you'll have to crawl 

And you know you've gotta do it step by step 

Miss one and you'll fall into this well 

Called wantin' and havin' it all 

See life's full of changes 

And wantin' right now what you only see in your dreams 

I know you don't like it 

And think it's the strangest thing you've ever seen 

Well, there ain't nothin' you can do about it 

There's this thing called wantin' and havin' it all 

If you're gonna get there you're gonna have to walk 

But first you'll have to crawl 

And you know you've gotta do it step by step 

Miss one and you'll fall into this well 

Called wantin' and havin' it all
