My daddy said
  "Son, don't you come to me cryin'
  Cause money don't make you a happy man"
  He said the grass is always greener
  Any place except where you stand
    He said some are born to win
  And some born to lose
  And sing them poor boy blues
    Watch out
    I've lived uptown, downtown
  Lord I've lived everywhere
  Almost drowned in the puddle of my own sweat I swear
  I believe it's due time I get my mansion in ole Bel Air
    Chorus:
  But I'm still singin' those poor boy blues
  Poor boy blues
  You don't know how I'm feeling baby
  Until you're wearing my shoes
  Sure as I'm standing here
  I got them poor boy blues
    Friday night I get tanked up
  And tossed in the local slam
  At least I get three square meals
  Until someone gets me out of this jam
  In the meanwhile all my green
  Is going to Uncle Sam
    Chorus:
    Walk this dog
    Solo
    Chorus
