Poor Boy Songtext
von Razzy Bailey

In Alabama, where I was born
Knee high in cotton, blue jeans were torn
I was a dreamer, singing my songs to the sun
Way up in Memphis, they were playing the blues
So I bought me a guitar and put on my shoes
Cause just like a river I reckon I was born to run

When the Mississippi moon is shining
And the river boat′s passing by
Those old weeping willows keep on crying
Son you better reach for the sky

Poor boy, poor boy, all alone
Poor boy, poor boy, holding on
Chasing my dreams with a song


I'm in a bus now, me and my band
Taking our music all over this land
And singing the kind of songs you know I believe in
Just like the sunshine sets in the west
Something keeps burning and won′t let me rest
I can't let it go, I got to hold on to this feeling

When the Mississippi moon is shining
And the river boat's passing by
That old weeping willow keeps on crying
Son you better reach for the sky

Poor boy, poor boy, all alone
Poor boy, poor boy, holding on
Chasing my dreams with a song

Poor boy, poor boy, all alone
Poor boy, poor boy, holding on
Chasing my dreams with a song
