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 guitarHe don't do it for the money
He don't do it for the heart
It's a poor boy's dreamWell 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 dreamPoor boy's (oh)Poor boy's (oh)Poor boy's (oh)Poor boy's (oh)Singing that boor boy's dreamPoor boy's (oh)Poor boy's (oh)Poor boy's (oh)Singing that poor boy's dreamWell 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 sameLike 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
