Old Joe Riley Lyrics


Old Joe Riley owned a fishin’ shack
With the ocean out front and the bay out back
He had a little boat and a fisherman’s tan
When he wasn’t out fishin’ he was sittin’ in the sand
Then the big boys came and they offered him millions
To put up some condos or a swank hotel
Old Joe Riley told them no thanks anyway
I could use the money but I just can’t sell
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
Come on
He said I’ve seen the cities eatin’ up small towns
Where you can’t smell the breeze and it's cement ground
You pay to park your car but it ain’t safe to walk
Nobody looks you in the eye, don’t speak, don’t talk

So when the big boys came and they offered him millions
To put up some condos or a swank hotel
Old Joe Riley told them no thanks anyway
I could use the money but I just can’t sell
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
Here we go
Yeah the bank lock box there’s a deed to some land
With his widow’s gold ring a few grains of sand
Joe Riley’s granddaughter’s gonna face a big choice
I hope she remembers her granddaddy’s voice
When the big boys came and they offered him millions
To put up some condos or a swank hotel
Old Joe Riley told them no thanks anyway
I could use the money but I just can’t sell
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
A low rent heaven beats a high dollar hell
Come on

Dean Brody (born in Jaffray, British Columbia) is a Canadian country music artist. Signed to Broken Bow Records in 2008, Brody made his debut late that year with the single "Brothers". This song, a Top 40 country hit in both Canada and the US, is the first single from his debut album, released in 2009 under the production of Matt Rovey.

Dean Brody was born in Jaffray, British Columbia, Canada.[2] As a boy, Brody worked at a sawmill, also playing guitar in his spare time. By 2004, he had moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue his musical career. Although he found a songwriting contract, the expiration of his US work permit forced him to move back to Canada. Eventually, he returned to Nashville through the suggestion of producer Keith Stegall, who helped him sign with Broken Bow Records in 2008.[2] Brody released his debut single, "Brothers", late that year. Shortly before its release, Brody was injured in a waterskiing accident.[3]
