Poor Boy
I went to school with the sharpest of the knives I fooled around with the richest of the wives I broke some records running circles on a track I broke my nose then my brother broke it right back Said I got no time to be a poor boy Morning job at the freezing works Midnight running with the sure boys Daytime working toward a junior clerk And I'm gonna find a way to make it work I watched my father and the way he hurt Said I got no time to be a poor boy I built an office with the highest of the bar Redid the kitchen, put a lap pool in the yard Me and your mother used to mingle with the stars Out on the weekend singing Taxi on guitar Said I got no time to be a poor boy Bloody Mary cure them Moet eyes Midnight running with the sure boys Someday sailing to a long white isle And I'm gonna find a way to make it work I watched my father and the way it hurt Said there ain't no pride in being poor boy Letras de cancionesI went to school with the sharpest of the knives But I broke some rules and I truly paid the price Over the years, over many more mistakes I watched the assets and the value sail away So I keep on working til my body makes me stop You and your sister are the only we've got Don't take my lesson you don't need it, you are wise But don't be obsessing over anything but real life Said I got time to be a poor boy See my daughters on the stage last night I'm not dying with the sure boys Monday driving through the countryside And I'm gonna find a way to make it work I put my family and the sunrise first If I got time I ain't a poor boy If I got time I ain't a poor boy If I got time I ain't a poor boy From Letras Mania
