Steve Earle — Poor Boy

[Verse] I was born on the other side of town Everybody over here just puttin' me down I never thought about it much Till the first time I saw you Uh oh, what's a poor boy gonna do? [Verse] It's bad enough to love you from afar Me down here and you up where you are If you hadn't given me that look That's all it took, it's true Uh oh, what's a poor boy gonna do? [Chorus] Baby, what's a poor boy got? Not a heck of a lot Just a heart that's true One thing he sure don't need Is a heart that bleeds And these lovesick blues [Verse] I know a poor boy can't go far Baby, maybe someday drive your car I can look in my rearview Into those eyes of blue Uh oh what's a poor boy gonna do? [Chorus] Baby, what's a poor boy got? Not a heck of a lot Just a heart that's true One thing he sure don't need Is a heart that bleeds And these lovesick blues [Verse] I know a poor boy can't go far Baby, maybe someday drive your car I can look in my rearview Into those eyes of blue Uh oh what's a poor boy gonna do? Uh oh what's a poor boy gonna do?
