Poor Boy by Tim Sloan G C G It's a long way from the backroad's to the coast G C G But they said son you wana be a picker you got to go G C G Never quit keep on trying is all you need to know C G A hand full of money with a dream and a family photo G C G So don't forget the backwoods and dont forget to write G C G We'd like to hear from a man living in the big city light's G C G Tell your momma that you love her Tell your daddy you got to go G C G Remember where you come from when the hard times get you low Chorus Em C G It's a long way from the river Em C G And the back roads I used to ride Em C G You can take a poor boy out of the country Em C G Em-C-G Cause the country boy knows the poor man's gotta survive G C G Lonley late nights in a run down hotel room G C G Just me and a TV ,pack of cigerettes and some booze G C G Listen to the old man next door yelling at the news G C C 30 dollars for a hotel room You cant pick and choose Chorus Em C G Its a long way from the river Em C G And the back roads I used to ride Em C G You can take a poor boy out of the country Em C G Cuase the country boy knows the poor man's gotta survive G C G This old guitar and some sad old country songs G C Keep this hungary country boy alive When the hard times get a little ruff G C G Never quit keep on trying the only thing I know G C G I keep an old picture in my pocket Of a little town that I know Chorus x 2 Its a long way from the river And the back road's I used to ride You can take a poor boy out of the country Cuase the country boy know's the poor man's gotta survive Em-C-G x 2
