Lyrics Poor Kids - Matthew Logan Vasquez

Poor Kids

Tin houses on my lawn
My fortress built so strong
Back in the '90s it was all ahead of you
Bankrupt embarrassment, the whole neighbourhood knew
It’s what poor kids do growing up too fast
Too proud to learn their rules
Misfits and a rich kid school
Not sure what I needed but I found it in the church
I liked the music but I didn’t like the word
It’s what poor kids do growing up too fast
It’s what poor kids do growing up too fast
I graduated but you asked me to the dance
I barely knew you but I thought I’d take that chance
After the party, you put my hand up your shirt
We both weren’t ready, so both of us got hurt
It’s what poor kids do growing up too fast
It’s what poor kids do growing up too fast
