Is gonna make 'em learn to take a turn and stand in line
With a wife and two kids and a worried mind
But first you'll have to crawl
There's this thing called wantin' and havin' it all
He's got a house he calls home
He's gonna leave 'em all a little somethin'
But what he needs can't be bought, it has to be found
Miss one and you'll fall into this well
There's a poor man livin' on a budget at the bottom of the hill
Well, there ain't nothin' you can do about it
Poor man has everything that the rich man don't
The rich man owns everything from miles around
To the man that brought wood in the winter
Miss one and you'll fall into this well
If you're gonna get there you're gonna have to walk
That's where a lot of his money goes
I know you don't like it
His rich kids think that they're better 'cause they're better off
There's this thing called wantin' and havin' it all
Well, only the rich man knows see
If you're gonna get there you're gonna have to walk
Miss one and you'll fall into this well
That's how they grew up thinkin' and now he thinks it's all his fault
The kids don't call, they're waitin' for the man to die
There's this thing called wantin' and havin' it all
Called wantin' and havin' it all
To take a little weight off his shoulders
He's got love in his life and his heart
But first you'll have to crawl
See life's full of changes
And wantin' right now what you only see in your dreams
And think it's the strangest thing you've ever seen
So while there's still time the daddy that they nickel and dime
If you're gonna get there you're gonna have to walk
But they're gonna be real surprised
And you know you've gotta do it step by step
About how he's gonna pay the bills
And you know you've gotta do it step by step
Called wantin' and havin' it all
Goin' over his will 'cause he's ill
And you know you've gotta do it step by step
But first you'll have to crawl
