i just got tired of being poor - george jones lyrics

Loading...

my life with trouble goes back to the candy
that i stole from jessie walker’s country store
a penny seperated me from choosing sides with honesty
and i just got tired of being poor.

some folks eat their supper off of silver
and the only world they’ll ever know is wealth
but i can’t blame the rich folks for these big stone
walls
this prison is the doings of myself.

freedom ran away from me at twenty-three
i broke the lock on one to many doors
my hungry hands would not behave
when they got close to things they crave
i just got tired of bein’ poor.

— instrumental —

i remember willie jack who laughed at me
and the talking about the ragged clothes i wore
that’s when willie got a taste of all knuckles in his
face
i just got tired of bein’ poor.

some folks eat their supper off of silver
and the only world they’ll ever know is wealth
but i can’t blame the rich folks for these big stone
walls
this prison is the doings of myself.

freedom ran away from me at twenty-three
i broke the lock on one to many doors
my hungry hands would not behave
when they got close to things they crave
i just got tired of bein’ poor.

i just got tired of bein’ poor…
