Lyrics

I've got me a house and I Know its not much
It seems to get harder everyday
I like to sit by the docks with my beat up guitar
Til the sky turns dark and grey

I'm not a poor boy
I've got alot of love to give away
I'm not a poor boy
I know that luck will be coming my way

I've got a steady job in a restaurant
Flipping burgers late at night
Now the salaries ok and I get my rent paid
But it seems to be getting tight

I'm not a poor boy
I've got alot of love to give away
I'm not a poor boy
I know that luck will be coming my way

I've gotta a fine girl and she aint got much
But I think shes here to stay
She likes to sit by the fire under the moonlit sky
And hear my beat up guitar as I play

I'm not a poor boy
I've got alot of love to give away
I'm not a poor boy
I know that luck will be coming my way

I had me a car and it wasn't too much
But it got me from place to place
Now I walk three miles to the corner store
Wiping sweat from my face


I'm not a poor boy
I've got alot of love to give away
I'm not a poor boy
I know that luck will be coming my way

My father passed away one winter night
With a gun from his own hand
Now I know it wasn't right
But he didn't have much
And too weak to take a stand

I'm not a poor boy

I listened to Top 40 radio of 1980s and was highly influenced by that! I think that comes out in my music!Catchy pop songs that I try to write that the listener will like after hearing the first time! ... more
