Poor Man's Son

Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son My father is a hard earned worker; my mother has a heart of gold I was never much younger but I feel twice as old Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son But I've got money for food and a little bit of gasoline I've got plenty of time but I want everything now But I don't need no gold or silver Oh I only need a few new things Or I would buy pearls for my lover Or just a brand new set of guitar strings Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son I feel a cold wind blowing Dark clouds form on the western sky I've got a feeling like knowing that everyone here will someday die Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son And I see the bright stars shining high above the Bethlehem tower I hear the chorus of angels singing out loud the sweetest sound Oh brothers, let's go down Let's go down, won't you come on down? Oh brother, let's go down Down in the river to pray But I don't need no gold or silver Oh I only need a few new things Or I would buy pearls for my lover Or just a brand new set of guitar strings
