Poor Man’s Son Songtext
von Survivor

Baby, if you really love me
You will better understand
That the silver in your pocket
Ain′t no measure of a man

And though the fortunes of our fathers
We aspire to rise above
When you're born into a breed
You′re signed in blood

I'm a poor man's son
Workin′ all night long
Got a bad guitar
And a simple song

You′re a rich man's daughter
Look at what you′ve done
You went and fell in love
With a poor man's son


Baby, you were born in splendor
To a house of wealth and fame
Your mother was a spender
And you grew up on a stage

And girl you could′ve loved for money
Could've fooled around for fame
But you went and took a chance
On the real thing

Though the fortunes of our fathers
We aspire to rise above
When you′re born into a breed
You're signed in blood

I'm a poor man′s son
Workin′ all night long
Got a bad guitar
And a simple song


You're a rich man′s daughter
You're a rich man′s daughter
I'm a poor man′s son
I'm a poor man's son
I′m a poor man′s son
I'm a poor man′s son
Poor man's son
I′m a poor man's son
I′m a poor man's son

I'm a poor man′s son
I′m a poor man's son
I′m a poor man's son
I′m a poor man's son

I′m a poor man's son
I'm a poor man′s son
I′m a poor man's son
I′m a poor man's son
