Poor Folks

(album: Crazy Like Me - 2008)

We got a styrofoam cooler in the back of my old Ford truck
And we're reaching over the side for a brew 'cause the tailgate's stuck
A couple lines in the water, hey I think you got a bite
I wonder what the poor folks are doing tonight

Now we coulda drove this old truck on into town, caught the 9 o'clock show
But I just as soon be sitting here with you, listening to the radio
I got your name on my left arm and your body in my right
I wonder what the poor folks are doing tonight

The ones out there who ain't got nothing on us
They got everything else in this world, but it ain't enough
Wishing they were the owners of a love like yours and mine
I wonder what the poor folks are doing tonight

Well the truth is, you and me, we can't buy a whole lot of fancy nice things
Now we ain't on no first name basis with the folks down at the bank
BUt we know we've got it all, when we turn out the lights
And I wonder what the poor folks are doing tonight

The ones out there who ain't got nothing on us
They got everything else in this world, but it ain't enough
Wishing they were the owners of a love like yours and mine
I wonder what the poor folks are doing tonight

I wonder what the poor folks are doing tonight
Ah baby you know we got the life
