Well this is how the story goes It's never really been a one man show The muddy waters to roll the stones And I wish the truth below There's one kid driving all night in his car There's another in his room strumming his guitar He don't do it for the money He don't do it for the heart It's a poor boy's dream ♪ Well there's some out there chasing big bright lights You know fancy cars the finer things in life That's well and good but it don' mean much to me Well I hope you sleep sound when you close your eyes And when the sun goes down you know I'll come alive We'll hit the town Just singing on that poor boy's dream Poor boy's (oh) Poor boy's (oh) Poor boy's (oh) Poor boy's (oh) Singing that boor boy's dream Poor boy's (oh) Poor boy's (oh) Poor boy's (oh) Singing that poor boy's dream ♪ Well all good things must come to an end When one man leaves off you know another begins A brand new song with a distant melody You may play for gold you may play for change But if you listen close it all sounds the same Like a thousand golds just singing on a poor boy's dream Like a thousand golds just singing on one poor boy's dreams Like a thousand golds yeah this is just a poor boy's dream
