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
