Lyrics
[Jamie McDell] I went to school with the sharpest of the knives I fooled around with the richest of the wives I broke some records runnin' circles on a track I broke my nose, then my brother broke it right back Said I got no time to be a poor boy Mornin' job at the freezin' works Midnight runnin' with the sure boys Daytime workin' toward a junior clerk And I'm gonna find a way to make it work I watched my father and the way he hurt Said I got no time to be a poor boy [Jamie McDell] I built an office with the highest of the bar Redid the kitchen, put a lap pool in the yard Me and your mother used to mingle with the stars Out on the weekend singin' "Taxi" on guitar Said I got no time to be a poor boy Bloody Mary cure them Moet eyes Midnight dinin' with the sure boys Someday sailin' to a long white isle And I'm gonna find a way to make it work I watched my father and the way it hurt Said there ain't no pride in being poor, boy [Jamie McDell] I went to school with the sharpest of the knives But I broke some rules and I truly paid the price Over the years, over many more mistakes I watched the assets and the value sail away So I keep on workin' 'til my body makes me stop You and your sister are the only gold we've got Don't take my lesson, you don't need it, you are wise But don't be obsessin' over anythin' but real life Said I got time to be a poor boy See my daughters on the stage last night I'm not dyin' with the sure boys Monday drivin' through the countryside And I'm gonna find a way to make it work I put my family and the sunrise first Said if I got time, I ain't a poor boy [Jamie McDell & Tom Busby, Jamie McDell] If I got time, I ain't a poor boy If I got time, I ain't a poor boy
