REO Speedwagon — Son of a Poor Man lyrics

Lyrics

Hometown lady, leavinЂ™ for the city
Bags in hand, sheЂ™s boardinЂ™ the train
Her last look through the window, I saw her eyes were as red as mine
I waved goodbye but I canЂ™t believe sheЂ™s leaving.
But a woman canЂ™t be high-class
In a lonely farmerЂ™s town
And the son of a poor man
AinЂ™t gonna turn your head around
But if you ever get lonely
Just pick up the telephone
And the son of a poor man will bring you home.
Maybe soon IЂ™ll see her on some television show
Painted lips and fingers singing for the world
A fashion plate for sure dancinЂ™ for your plastic world
Call me up if you can but if not well IЂ™ll understand
But a woman canЂ™t be high-class
In a lonely farmerЂ™s town
And the son of a poor man
AinЂ™t gonna turn your head around
But if you ever get lonely
Just pick up the telephone
And the son of a poor man will bring you home.
