Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro harmonicaand steady funk beat]
[Verse 1]
I woke up this mornin', not a dollar to my name,
Just a worn-out shirt and a pocket full of shame.
Playin' my blues harp on the corner of the street,
Dreamin' 'bout the big time, where the rich folks meet.
[Chorus]
From rags to riches, now I'm feelin' fine,
Bought myself a mansion, sippin' on fine wine.
Lady Luck, she kissed me, and now I see the light,
From rags to riches, livin' the big life.
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Used to hustle hard, just to make ends meet,
Nothin' but my harmonica and the shoes on my feet.
Then I hit the jackpot, won the lottery,
Now I'm ridin' high, livin' life so free.
[Chorus]
From rags to riches, now I'm feelin' fine,
Bought myself a mansion, sippin' on fine wine.
Lady Luck, she kissed me, and now I see the light,
From rags to riches, livin' the big life.
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge:Continued]
Got a Cadillac and a diamond ring,
Life's a funky groove, hear that blues harp sing.
No more worry 'bout the bills to pay,
Just layin' in the sun, watchin' clouds drift away.
[Harmonica Solo]
[Verse 3]
Now my friends all gather 'round, we're havin' a ball,
From the corner of the street to the mansion hall.
Still play my blues harp, with a brand-new style,
Life's a funky journey, mile after mile.
[Chorus]
From rags to riches, now I'm feelin' fine,
Bought myself a mansion, sippin' on fine wine.
Lady Luck, she kissed me, and now I see the light,
From rags to riches, livin' the big life.
[Instrumental Outro]
Yeah, from rags to riches, I'm livin' the big life,
Singin' my blues away, with no more strife.
From rags to riches, oh, what a sweet delight,
Groovin' with my harmonica, into the night.
[Harmonica fade out]
