Poor Side of Town Songtext
von The Walkabouts

How can you tell me
How much you miss me
When the last time I saw you,
You wouldn′t even kiss me
The rich guy you're seein′
Must have put you down
So welcome back, baby,
To the poor side of town


To him you ain't nothin'
But a play-thing
Not much more than
An overnight-thing
To me you′re the greatest thing
That I′ve ever found
And it's hard to find nice things
On the poor side of town

I can′t blame you for tryin'
I′m tryin' to make it too
I′ve got one little hang up, baby
I just can't make it without you


So tell me,
Are you gonna stay now?
Would you stand by me,
All the way now?
With you by my side,
They can't keep us down
Together we can make it from
The poor side of town
Together we can make it from
The poor side of town
So welcome back, baby,
To the poor side of town
