poor boy blues

it's easy to see a poor boy's blues

when he's working every day

it's harder to be there in his shoes

he was born to be that way

if i tell you tomorrow i'm leaving

would you understand the reason why?

a poor boy works hard for his living

but a rich man he plays to pass the time

so goodbye

pleased to know you

we had some laughs along the way

but i have to be leaving

and there's nothing you can do to make me stay

if i tell you tomorrow i'm leaving

would you understand the reason why?
