SURVIVOR
- Poor Man's Son Lyrics / with translationsBaby if you really love me
You had better understand
That the silver in your pocket
Ain't no measure of a man
[Pre-chorus]
And though the fortunes of our fathers
We aspire to rise above
When you're born into a breed
You're signed in blood
[Chorus]
I'm a poor mans son
Workin' all night long
Got a bad guitar
And a simple song
You're a rich mans daughter
Look at what you've done
You went and fell in love
With a poor mans son
Baby you were born in splendor
To a house of wealth and fame
Your mother was a spender
And you grew up on a stage
[Pre-chorus]
And girl you could have loved for money
Could have fooled around for fame
But you went and took a chance on the real thing
[Pre-chorus]
And though the fortunes of our fathers
We aspire to rise above
When you're born into a breed
You're signed in blood
[Chorus]
I'm a poor mans son
Workin' all night long
Got a bad guitar
And a simple song
You're a rich mans daughter
You're a rich mans daughter
I'm a poor man's son
I'm a poor man's son
I'm a poor man's son
Poor man's son
Working all night long
I'm a poor man's son
I'm a poor man's son
[Repeat & Fade]
You had better understand
That the silver in your pocket
Ain't no measure of a man
[Pre-chorus]
And though the fortunes of our fathers
We aspire to rise above
When you're born into a breed
You're signed in blood
[Chorus]
I'm a poor mans son
Workin' all night long
Got a bad guitar
And a simple song
You're a rich mans daughter
Look at what you've done
You went and fell in love
With a poor mans son
Baby you were born in splendor
To a house of wealth and fame
Your mother was a spender
And you grew up on a stage
[Pre-chorus]
And girl you could have loved for money
But you went and took a chance on the real thing
[Pre-chorus]
And though the fortunes of our fathers
We aspire to rise above
When you're born into a breed
You're signed in blood
[Chorus]
I'm a poor mans son
Workin' all night long
Got a bad guitar
And a simple song
You're a rich mans daughter
You're a rich mans daughter
I'm a poor man's son
I'm a poor man's son
I'm a poor man's son
Poor man's son
Working all night long
I'm a poor man's son
I'm a poor man's son
[Repeat & Fade]
