LYNYRD SKYNYRD - Poor Man's Dream lyrics

rate me

There ain't no poor man

Born with a silver spoon

And there ain't no wise man

Who learned it all in school

A politician's promise

Can make you feel like a fool

But when they get the power

They're the first to break the golden rule

We work that 40 acres like riders on a mule

Climb that mountain

Reach the sky

Hangin' on for a good laugh

For a piece of that American pie

Hey nothin's easy

Nothin's for free

In the world of dog eat dog

Oh people, that's a poor man's dream

Hey Mr. walton

Lend me a dime

You know I'll repay ya

But it's gonna take me some time

I'm standing at the crossroads

Just about to roll the dice

I got a dream in my heart

Whatever it takes

I know I gotta pay the price

We work that 40 acres like riders on a mule

Climb that mountain

Reach the sky

Hangin' on for a good laugh

For a piece of that American pie

Hey nothin's easy

Nothin's for free

In the world of dog eat dog

Oh people, that's a poor man's dream

We work that 40 acres like riders on a mule

Climb that mountain

Reach the sky

Hangin' on for a good laugh

For a piece of that American pie

Hey nothin's easy

Nothin's for free

In the world of dog eat dog

Oh people, that's a poor man's dream

Hey nothin's easy

Nothin's for free

In the world of dog eat dog

Oh people, that's a poor man's dream

Oh... It's a poor man's dream
