Poor Monroe Lyrics & Tabs by Keith Whitley & Ricky Skaggs

Poor Monroe

guitar chords lyrics

Keith Whitley & Ricky Skaggs

Just because he's lazy
Sits around with the blues
They run Monroe off

Without his shoes.
He always was lazy
And he never liked to work
But now his feet they are bare
As he runs through the dirt.
If my family should
Ever do me that way
I'd put my shoes on
And go far away.
But if they didn't give me time
They say I had to go
Then my feet would be bare

But if they didn't give me time
They say I had to go
Then my feet would be bare
I'd be just like Monroe.
Well, I guess they told him
They didn't need him there
And if he was out of the way
They would draw welfare.
That's whats messing up the country
And making it so tough
While monroe's living it down
His family's living it up...
