I Just Got Tired Of Being Poor Lyrics

My life of trouble goes back to the candy

That I stole from Jesse Walker's country store

A penny seperated me from chosen sights with honesty

I just got tired of being poor.

I remember Willie Jackson laughing

And talking bout the ragged clothes I wore

That's when Willie gotta taste of all my nuckles in his face

I just got tired of being poor.

Some folks eat their supper of the silver

And the only world they ever know is wealth

But I can't blame the rich folks for these big tall walls

This prison is the doin's of myself.

Freedom ran away from me at twenty-three

I broke the lock on one too many doors

My hungry hands would not behate

When they got close to things they create

I just got tired of being poor.

Some folks eat their supper of the silver

And the only world they ever know is wealth

But I can't blame the rich folks for these big tall walls

This prison is the doin's of myself.

I just got tired of being poor...
