Clutch - Let a Poor Man Be lyrics

rate me

I'm gonna move to the outskirts of town<br />

Where none of your friends are hanging around<br />

That's right, I'm gonna move to the other side of town<br />

Where none of your business is hanging around<br />

<br />

Woman, please let a poor man be<br />

Let a poor man be<br />

Columbia girl, please let a poor man be<br />

Let a poor man be<br />

<br />

I'm gonna build a castle out of Goodyear tires<br />

Cinder block and busted doors, that's where I'll retire<br />

Gonna dig a mote, fill it up with ale<br />

Not much of a defense I know but the supply never fails<br />

<br />

Woman, please let a poor man be<br />

Let a poor man be<br />

Columbia girl, please, please let a poor man be<br />

Let a poor man be<br />

<br />

When you come knocking all in tears<br />

Wringing hands and genuflecting<br />

You'll understand that I am a busy man<br />

And my subjects demand my attention<br />

<br />

These walls don't build themselves<br />

And I am running out of time<br />

So if you desire anything else<br />

You had better get in line<br />

<br />

Woman, please, please, please let a poor man be<br />

Let a poor man be<br />

Columbia girl, please, please, please let a poor man be<br />

Let a poor man be<br />

<br />

Woman, please, please, please let a poor man be<br />

Let a poor man be<br />

Columbia girl, please, please, please let a poor man be<br />

Let a poor man be<br /><br />
