Poor Man's Son - Live 1984

We'd like to do a song now from one of our early albums
The album's called "Premonition"
And this is a song dedicated to all you poor men sons out there

Baby, if you really love me
You had 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
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

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

I'm a poor man's son, a poor man's son
(Poor man's son working all night long) I'm a poor man's son
A poor man's son
(Poor man's son working all night long) I'm a poor man's son
A poor man's son
(Poor man's son working all night long) I'm a poor man's son
A poor man's son
(Poor man's son working all night long) I'm a poor man's son

I'm poor, yeah
Poor man's son, yeah
