IN 1994 Tracy Byrd put out a satirical and catchy number taking a dig at popular television show "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous." The song went to number 4 and was beloved for its "down home" take on leading a simple life. But the song itself is genius. Not just for being catchy, relatable, and good 90's country, but also for giving the mythical "everyman" an anthem to counter the idea that if you ain't rich, you ain't happy. We thank Byron Hill and Wayne Tester for penning it and hope y'all enjoy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
