I've got me a house and I know its not much
It seems to get harder everyday
I like to sit by the docks with a beat up guitar
Til the sky turns dark and grey
I'm not a poor boy
I've got alot of love to give away
I'm not a poor boy
I know luck will be coming my way
I've got a steady job in a restaurant
Flipping burgers late at night
Now the salaries ok and I get my rent paid
But it seems to be getting tight
I'm not a poor boy
I've got alot of love to give away
I'm not a poor boy
I know luck will be coming my way
I've gotta a fine girl and she aint got much
But I think shes here to stay
She likes to sit by the fire under the moonlight sky
And hear my beat up guitar as I play
I'm not a poor boy
I've got alot of love to give away
I'm not a poor boy
I know luck will be coming my way
I had me a car and it wasn't too much
But it got me from place to place
Now I walk three miles to the corner store
Wiping sweat from my face
I'm not a poor boy
I've got alot of love to give away
I'm not a poor boy
I know luck will be coming my way
My father passed away one winter night
With a gun from his own hand
Now I know it wasn't right
But he didn't have much
And too weak to make a stand
I'm not a poor boy
