Poor Mountain Boy Lyrics & Tabs by Donna Ulisse
Poor Mountain Boy
guitar chords lyrics
She wanted lots of money, you thought you'd live on love
Her sights were set on city lights, to you the moon was bright enough
You craved a simple life, she craved a party crowd
You wanted her to stay right there and she just wanted out
Poor mountain boy how you tried
But your way of life's not what she had in mind
A little run down cabin you always meant to fix
On a hundred rocky acres down on sandy ridge
Sad mountain boy, poor mountain boy
Sad mountain boy, poor mountain boy
Her dreams were always higher than the tallest hemlock pine
She was always gonna leave that lonesome mountain side
But you never did quit tryin' and now she's finally gone
There's no way you can win her back, it's hard to just move on
Poor mountain boy how you tried
But you never did quit tryin' and now she's finally gone
There's no way you can win her back, it's hard to just move on
Poor mountain boy how you tried
But your way of life's not what she had in mind
A little run down cabin you always meant to fix
On a hundred rocky acres down on sandy ridge
Sad mountain boy, poor mountain boy
Sad mountain boy, poor mountain boy
