Mat Kearney - Poor Boy lyrics

rate me

Like a breath of fresh air and the wind at my back

Toe to heel with strong strides taking miles off the map

In this journey called life where I've walked so far

Under the heat of your sun and the shine of your stars

Step by step I've crept, I've crawled, and I've run

Felt the palm of your hand and the barrel of death's gun

I ran for my life stood strong through strife

From a miscarried life to waiting for my wife like

I heard it sung a thousand strong all night long

Heard heaven's bell going something long, it's like

I've been there in total despair

Now I've tasted and I've touched

A breath of fresh air

‘Cause I do live and I hope and pray

For something better and brighter today

For something there for something there

CHORUS:

‘Cause I was just a poor boy living in a poor world

But you gave me more love that set me free

‘Cause I was just a poor boy living in a poor world

But you have gave me more love that set me free

Like road trips on open roads

Windows down sun setting and fresh new clothes

Shoes off so you can stop reflect on all these paths unfolding

With these staffs that are pulling in this world so controlling

It's not always best to take the interstate

Sometimes the most is on the windy coast way

‘Cause wide is the path pulling astray

Narrow is the truth in these days

But all the while I hear a still small voice say

You climbed the cliffs rocked the desert on your very own

Swam the seas, sang the songs with the sweetest tones

The beaches you've combed, moons you've roamed the love you've shown

But all the while a voice calls you home

‘Cause I do live and I hope and pray

For something better and brighter today

For something there for something there
