Poor Boy — текст песни (Steve Earle)

I was born on the other side of town

Everybody over there just puts me down

I never thought about it much, til the first time I saw you

Uh-oh, whats a poor boy gonna do



Its bad enough to love you from afar

Me down here and you up where you are

If you hadnt given me that look, thats all it took its true

U-oh, whats a poor boy gonna do



Baby whats a poor boy got, not a heck of a lot

Just a heart thats true

One thing he sure doesnt need is a heart that bleeds

And these lovesick blues



I know o poor boy cant go far

Baby, maybe someday drive your car

I can look in my rearview, into those eyes of blue

Uh-oh whats a poor boy gonna do
