Mat Kearney - Poor Boy lyrics
[Mat Kearney - Poor Boy lyrics]
Like a breath of fresh air and
The wind at my back
Toe to heel with strong strides
Taking miles off the map
In this journey called life where
I've walked so far
Under the heat of your sun and
The shine of your stars
Step by step I've crept, I've crawled
And I've run felt the palm of your hand and
The barrel of death's gun
I ran for my life stood strong through strife
From a miscarried life to waiting
For my wife like i heard it sung a thousand
Strong all night long
Heard heaven's bell going something long
It's like i've been there in total despair
Now I've tasted and I've touched
A breath of fresh air
'Cause, I do live and I hope and pray
For something better and brighter today
For something there for something there
'Cause, I was just a poor boy
Living in a poor world
But, you gave me more love that set me free
'Cause, I was just a poor boy
Living in a poor world
But, you have gave me more
Love that set me free
Like road trips on open roads
Windows down sun setting and
Fresh new clothes
Shoes off so you can stop reflect
On all these paths unfolding
With these staffs that are pulling
In this world so controlling
It's not always best to take the interstate
Sometimes the most is on the windy coast way
'Cause wide is the path pulling astray
Narrow is the truth in these days
But all the while I hear
A still small voice say
You climbed the cliffs rocked the
Desert on your very own swam the seas
Sang the songs with the sweetest tones
The beaches you've combed
Moons you've roamed the love you've shown
But all the while a voice calls you home
'Cause, I do live and I hope and pray
For something better and brighter today
For something there for something there
'Cause, I was just a poor boy
Living in a poor world
But, you gave me more love that set me free
'Cause, I was just a poor boy
Living in a poor world
But, you have gave me more
Love that set me free
The wind at my back
Toe to heel with strong strides
Taking miles off the map
In this journey called life where
I've walked so far
Under the heat of your sun and
The shine of your stars
Step by step I've crept, I've crawled
And I've run felt the palm of your hand and
The barrel of death's gun
I ran for my life stood strong through strife
From a miscarried life to waiting
For my wife like i heard it sung a thousand
Strong all night long
Heard heaven's bell going something long
It's like i've been there in total despair
Now I've tasted and I've touched
A breath of fresh air
'Cause, I do live and I hope and pray
For something better and brighter today
For something there for something there
'Cause, I was just a poor boy
Living in a poor world
But, you gave me more love that set me free
'Cause, I was just a poor boy
Living in a poor world
But, you have gave me more
Love that set me free
Like road trips on open roads
Windows down sun setting and
Fresh new clothes
Shoes off so you can stop reflect
On all these paths unfolding
With these staffs that are pulling
In this world so controlling
It's not always best to take the interstate
Sometimes the most is on the windy coast way
'Cause wide is the path pulling astray

'Cause, I was just a poor boy
Living in a poor world
But, you gave me more love that set me free
'Cause, I was just a poor boy
Living in a poor world
But, you have gave me more
Love that set me free
