lirik lagu poor boy – jamie mcdell
[verse 1: jamie mcdell]
i went to school with the sharpest of the knives
i fooled around with the richest of the wives
i broke some records runnin’ circles on a track
i broke my nose, then my brother broke it right back
[chorus: jamie mcdell & tom busby, jamie mcdell]
said i got no time to be a poor boy
mornin’ job at the freezin’ works
midnight runnin’ with the sure boys
daytime workin’ 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
[verse 2: jamie mcdell]
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 singin’ “taxi” on guitar
[chorus: jamie mcdell & tom busby, jamie mcdell]
said i got no time to be a poor boy
bl**dy mary cure them moet eyes
midnight dinin’ with the sure boys
someday sailin’ 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
[bridge: jamie mcdell]
i 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 workin’ ’til my body makes me stop
you and your sister are the only gold we’ve got
don’t take my lesson, you don’t need it, you are wise
but don’t be obsessin’ over anythin’ but real life
[chorus: jamie mcdell & tom busby]
said i got time to be a poor boy
see my daughters on the stage last night
i’m not dyin’ with the sure boys
monday drivin’ through the countryside
and i’m gonna find a way to make it work
i put my family and the sunrise first
said if i got time, i ain’t a poor boy
[outro: jamie mcdell & tom busby, jamie mcdell]
if i got time, i ain’t a poor boy
if i got time, i ain’t a poor boy
