The Rocking Chair Millionaire

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Raymond Lee was forty-two From Mobile, Alabama Worked the night shift warehouse Steel dust on his hands Bills piled up like storm clouds His back stayed wore thin He’d clock out to a quiet house And start again His boy had a busted laptop His girl had dreams in her chest Raymond said, "I can’t give you much But I can still give my best" [Pre-Chorus] Then one small light came on On a secondhand screen A little room, a cheap mic And a bigger kind of dream He pressed record in the dark With his coffee gone cold And heard his own old story Turn gold [Chorus] Rocking chair millionaire (rocking chair millionaire) Rich in love right there (rocking chair millionaire) One song, one prayer (one song, one prayer) He built a life from air (rocking chair millionaire) [Verse 2] He learned a simple home studio With a laptop on the table AI helped clean the echoes Made his rough takes able He never chased the flash of fame He just showed up clean Every day a little truth Every day a little seed He posted songs about his mama His truck, his work, his sin And folks who felt forgotten Started listening in [Pre-Chorus] One clip became a doorway One voice became a key He kept on making meaning For the whole world to see Not loud, not fake, not rented Just steady and sincere A little faith, a little time A little less fear [Chorus] Rocking chair millionaire (rocking chair millionaire) Rich in love right there (rocking chair millionaire) One song, one prayer (one song, one prayer) He built a life from air (rocking chair millionaire) [Bridge] Now Sunday finds his family On the porch in the shade His girl sings harmony His boy taps on a crate The neighbors come and lean in Like they’ve known him for years And Raymond thanks the quiet work That carried through the years He says, "Purpose is a table Where every broken part can sit" And legacy is simple You keep pouring into it [Chorus] Rocking chair millionaire (rocking chair millionaire) Rich in love right there (rocking chair millionaire) One song, one prayer (one song, one prayer) He built a life from air (rocking chair millionaire) [Outro] Comment ROCKING CHAIR...
