Poorboy

Ian Moss

Sun down Big City

And all my money is gone

Sun down and I'm thinkin'

Back to where I used to call home

Every blowhard barjockey

In every town I ever knew

Said if you play hard

You get lucky

It ain't necessarily true



I'm a Poorboy, Big City

Smalltown used to be home

Poorboy, Big City

I've never been so all alone



One time I had all the good lovin'

Of a young girl in my hand

I left town and never stopped runnin'

Never stopped to understand

Seeking unknown sensations

And every new sight to be seen

Took a greyhound to Penn Station

To follow some impossible dream



Now for all you sum' bitches

Dreamin' out the back o' some mall

Thinking somewhere else it all happens

Well it dont happen at all

I get by the best that I'm able

Long as I'm getting stoned

Got the whole world coming at me on cable

I've never been so all alone
