(Verse 1)
Joe grew up with his feet in the dirt,
Raised on a hundred acres of citrus and work.
His father left him everything young,
Rows of orange trees and a rising sun.
Hard work was one of the few joys he knew,
Something honest, simple, and true.
(Verse 2)
He watched his efforts start payin’ off,
From early mornings the evenings lost.
A main supplier, deals signed fast,
Names like Tropicana on papers he’d pass.
Bank account growin’ higher each year,
Everything else just disappeared.
(Chorus)
Life is more than money,
Your heart is where your treasure is
And if the love is missing,
There’ll be no one there to share it with
(Verse 3)
He always loved Sabrina, that much was true,
Winnin’ her heart was what he intended to do.
That was his plan right from the start,
Build a future, give her his heart.
So as she waited the years flew by,
But love not nurtured, slowly dies.
(Verse 4)
He said he was buildin’ a life for two,
A safer road, a clearer view.
But after he’d built his empire strong,
He turned around—Sabrina was gone.
On her finger another man’s ring
Joe had the money, but no joy did it bring.
(Chorus)
Life is more than money,
Your heart is where your treasure is
And if the love is missing
There’ll be no one there to share it with
(Bridge)
He wanted riches for Sabrina,
Gold and comfort, somethin’ to show.
But she just wanted Joe beside her,
Not some promise down the road.
(Final Chorus – original)
Life is more than money,
It’s a lesson some don’t know
You can hoard it all you want and be alone like Joe
