Don't Look Down Your Nose
By Franklin Price
7/17/2016
Don't look down your nose at me
I'm just as good as you
I may not have the things you have
Or do the things you do
There is no yacht upon the sea
Or a mansion on the hill
But I like who's in the mirror
And I know I always will
That someone there looks back at me
And winks, how is your day?
I wink right back, and give a grin,
And this is what I say
Got food upon the table
Got a roof above my head
Got a wife who really loves me
Family, friends who make me glad
A little money in my pocket
After all the bills are here
Can use it for vacation
Or a cold, hot summer, beer
Could have been a millionaire
But I'm happy, don't you see
I love the life I'm living
Don't look down your nose at me
