rich mans got his picture on the cover of magazine
theres a pampered life with a trophy wife and his long black limosines
hes got all the money in the whole wide world and toys hell never use
but he dont know a damn thing bout when a poor man gets the blues
rich man thinks his shoes are made to walk wherever he wants
from the top of all them high rise buildings to the bottom of the honkytonks
hell step on everything in between but he wont walk a mile in my shoes
and he dont know a damn thing bout when a poor man gets the blues
he thinks his money rules the world and he dont give a damn
bout a low class backwoods country boy from deep south alabam
he uses folks like me just to keep his sorry ass amused
well son you better watch your back when a poor man gets the blues
rich man waltezd righth into her life swept her off her feet
for all his fame and fortune lord knows i couldnt compete
when he took her love away from me i had nothing else to lose
so i taught that rich man just what happens when a poor man gets the blues
he thinks his money rules the world and he dont give a damn
bout a low class backwoods country boy from deep south alabam
he uses folks like me just to keep his sorry ass amused
well son youd better watch your back when a poor man gets the blues
