| My life with trouble goes back to the candy |
| That I stole from Jessie Walker’s country store |
| A penny seperated me from choosing sides with honesty |
| And I just got tired of being poor |
| Some folks eat their supper off of silver |
| And the only world they’ll ever know is wealth |
| But I can’t blame the rich folks for these big stone walls |
| This prison is the doings of myself |
| Freedom ran away from me at twenty-three |
| I broke the lock on one to many doors |
| My hungry hands would not behave |
| When they got close to things they crave |
| I just got tired of bein' poor |
| --- Instrumental --- |
| I remember Willie Jack who laughed at me |
| And the talking about the ragged clothes I wore |
| That’s when Willie got a taste of all knuckles in his face |
| I just got tired of bein' poor |
| Some folks eat their supper off of silver |
| And the only world they’ll ever know is wealth |
| But I can’t blame the rich folks for these big stone walls |
| This prison is the doings of myself |
| Freedom ran away from me at twenty-three |
| I broke the lock on one to many doors |
| My hungry hands would not behave |
| When they got close to things they crave |
| I just got tired of bein' poor |
| I just got tired of bein' poor… |
