Poor Boy Blues, lyric by Barclay James Harvest, The

from the songs album Everyone Is Everybody Else

It's easy to see a poor boy's blues
When he's working every day
It's harder to be there in his shoes
He was born to be that way
If i tell you tomorrow i'm leaving
Would you understand the reason why?
A poor boy works hard for his living
But a rich man he plays to pass the time

So goodbye, pleased to know you
We had some laughs along the way
But i have to be leaving
And there's nothing you can do to make me stay

If i tell you tomorrow i'm leaving
Would you understand the reason why?
A poor boy works hard for his living
But a rich man he plays to pass the time

So goodbye, pleased to know you
We had some laughs along the way
But i have to be leaving
And there's nothing you can do to make me stay
