Rich Man, Poor Boy Lyrics


Joe Ely Rich Man, Poor Boy




Well, a poor boy's got one thing on a rich man, Honey
He's got time to feel, he don't have to deal with all of his money
So, if you want me, you've gotta take me just the way that I am
I'm a poor boy, my hearts on fire, I'm a travelin' man

If you wanna be alone, sleepin' in yer bed, in all your finery
Baby, go ahead and find someone, with a heart as cold as stone
But, don't come a-knockin' when you wake up all alone

'Cause a poor boy's got one thing on a rich man, Honey
He don't have t' pretend he's got a world to win for all of his money
If you want me, you've gotta take me just the way that I am
I'm a poor boy, my hearts on fire, I'm a travelin' man

If you wanna be alone, sleepin' in yer bed, in all your diamond rings
Baby, go ahead and find someone, with a heart as cold as stone
But, don't come a-knockin' when you wake up all alone

'Cause a poor boy's got one thing on a rich man, Honey
He knows the gift of love is a bundle above a whole mountain of money
If you want me, you've gotta take me just the way that I am
I'm a poor boy, my hearts on fire, I'm a travelin' man
I'm a poor boy, my hearts on fire, I'm not a kid in this game
