My daddy said,
"Son, don't you come to me cryin'
'Cause money don't make you a happy man."
He said the grass is always greener, baby
Every place 'cept where you stand
He said some are born to win
And some born to lose
And sing them poor boy blues
Watch out
I've lived uptown, downtown
Lord, I've lived everywhere
Almost drowned in the puddle of my own sweat I swear
I believe it's due time I get my mansion in ol' Bel Air
But I'm still singin' those poor boy blues
Poor boy blues
You don't know how I'm feeling, baby
Unless you're wearing my shoes
Sure as I'm standing here
I got them poor boy blues
Friday night I get tanked up
And tossed in the local slam
I get three square meals
Until someone gets me out of this jam
In the meanwhile all my green
Is going to Uncle Sam
Poor boy blues
Poor boy blues
You don't know how I'm feeling, baby
Unless you're wearing my shoes
Sure as I'm standing here
I got them poor boy blues
Let's walk this dog
Ah, don't hurt yourself now C.C.
Poor boy blues
Poor boy blues
You don't know how I'm feeling, baby
Unless you're wearing my shoes
Sure as I'm standing here
I got them poor boy blues, yeah
Oh yeah, poor boy blues (poor boy blues)
Poor boy blues (poor boy blues)
Poor boy blues (poor boy blues)
Poor boy blues (poor boy blues)
As long as I'm standing
I got them poor boy, poor boy
Poor boy blues
