Clutch - Let a Poor Man Be lyrics

I’m gonna move to the outskirts of town
Where none of your friends are hanging around
That’s right
I’m gonna move to the other side of town
Where none of your business is hanging around

Woman, please
Let a poor man be let a poor man be
Columbia, girl, please
Let a poor man be let a poor man be

I’m gonna build a castle
Out of Goodyear tires
Cinderblock and busted doors that’s
Where I’ll retire
Gonna dig a moat fill it up with ale
Not much of a defense, I know
But the supply never fails

Woman, please, please
Let a poor man be let a poor man be
Columbia, girl, please, please
Let a poor man be let a poor man be

When you come knocking all in
Tears wringing hands and genuflecting
You’ll understand that I am a busy man
And my subjects demand my attention
These walls don’t build themselves and I
Am running out of time
So if you desire anything else
You had better get in line

Woman, please, please, please
Let a poor man be let a poor man be
Columbia, girl, please, please, please
Let a poor man be let a poor man be
Woman, please, please, please
Let a poor man be let a poor man be
Columbia, girl, please, please, please
Let a poor man be let a poor man be
