Poor Boy Lyrics - I Feel Alright - Steve Earle

I was born on the other side of town 

Everybody over here just put me down 

I never thought about it much 

Till the first time I saw you 

Uh oh, what's a poor boy gonna do 

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

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 

I know a poor boy can't go far 

Baby, maybe someday drive your car 

And I can look in my rear view, into those eyes of blue 

Uh oh what's a poor boy gonna do 

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
