Let's Be Poor Together (Live With Johnny Lloyd Rollins) Songtext
Holes in my shoes sometimes give me the blues
And my second hand clothing, it makes me look lonely
But draped in jewelry doesn't feel much better
So let's be poor together

Luxury's fine if you like vintage wine
And your fancy old car takes you from near to far
But riches never seem to last forever
So let's be poor together
And I said, money will float away like a feather
Let's be poor together

Asleep under bridges, that's my greatest of wishes
A box for a throne that's what I call my home
Through cold and dark and not so fairer weather
Let's be poor together
