Lynyrd Skynyrd – Poor Man's Dream lyrics

There ain't no poor man Born with a silver spoon And there ain't no wise man Who learned it all in school A politician's promise Can make you feel like a fool But when they get the power They're the first to break the golden rule We work that 40 acres like riders on a mule Climb that mountain Reach the sky Hangin' on for a good laugh For a piece of that American pie Hey nothin's easy Nothin's for free In the world of dog eat dog Oh people, that's a poor man's dream Hey Mr. Walton Lend me a dime You know I'll repay ya But it's gonna take me some time I'm standing at the crossroads Just about to roll the dice I got a dream in my heart Whatever it takes I know I gotta pay the price We work that 40 acres like riders on a mule Climb that mountain Reach the sky Hangin' on for a good laugh For a piece of that American pie Hey nothin's easy Nothin's for free In the world of dog eat dog Oh people, that's a poor man's dream We work that 40 acres like riders on a mule Climb that mountain Reach the sky Hangin' on for a good laugh For a piece of that American pie Hey nothin's easy Nothin's for free In the world of dog eat dog Oh people, that's a poor man's dream Hey nothin's easy Nothin's for free In the world of dog eat dog Oh people, that's a poor man's dream Oh... It's a poor man's dream Explain Request ×
