Poor Boys Letra

Poor boy's life is easy

Cause he goes from day to day

If I stop

Think a lot

I think of everything I got around this town



Old man sitting next to me

With new shoes on his feet

He says that when he is all alone

He talks himself to sleep

Then he stops

Then he stares

At all the people passing there without a word



Do we still belong around here

Where the days roll on

Like a carousel

Quiet fields of green and blue

But there's nothing there

Like her love shining through

Whoa oh

Hidi high li



We rolled in from Taurus

And now we're half a world away

And everything that I can think

To soon too late to say

Next thing it occurs to me

She can sleep so quielty

When we're alone



So good night all you poor boys

Try to make your way back home

These songs aren't for singing

When you're traveling alone

Now and then I wait around

So I can hear the lonely sound

Of outbound trains



Do we still belong around here

Where the days roll on

Like a carousel

Quiet fields of green and blue

But there's nothing there

Like her love shining through

High li li li

High li li li li li

Oh whoa whoa



And I don't think it's ever rang so hard

On the back streets of Carolina yard

And the poor boys have often been frustrated

At the thought of coming home

I heard good night you'll be all right I know

I heard songs in the alleys and the road

I heard all different kinds of conversation

And the float around this town



And the hey hey now

And the hey hey

Whoa da ho

High li li li
