poor boy - steve forbert lyrics

Loading...

verse
he’s always alone, wrapped up in his plight
with his hands in his pockets he’s walkin’ in the night
with his dark eyes lookin’, he’s a poor boy
his dark eyes lookin’, he’s a poor boy

verse
he can’t seem to keep any b-ttons on his clothes
and the shoes on his feet are pinching on his toes
and his hair wants a cuttin’, he’s a poor boy
his hair wants a cuttin’, he’s a poor boy

chorus
hey (now, now) poor boy
what’s it all about?
hey, poor boy
can you hear me when i shout?

verse
well, he’s workin’ ev’ry day, slavin’ for his pay
and all the pretty women they love to swish and sway
and they always overlook him, he’s a poor boy
they always overlook him, he’s a poor boy

verse
well, may turns into june, walking through the park
and way off in his world he’s a-dreamin’ in the dark
with his mind on fire, he’s a poor boy
his mind on fire, he’s a poor boy

(repeat chorus)
(instrumental break)

verse
well, the streets are alive, ev’ry body laughs
people come and go and they’re snappin’ photographs
and he’s over by the river, he’s a poor boy
he’s over by the river, he’s a poor boy

verse
well, spring has come and gone now
and how much time you got?
time’s a-flyin’ by, yes, an’ summer’s gettin’ hot an’ he’s
lis’nin’ to the thunder, he’s a poor boy
he’s lis’nin’ to the thunder, he’s a poor boy

(repeat chorus)
(instrumental out)
