poor man s son

Survivor

Baby if you really love me
You had better understand
That the silver in your pocket
Ain?t no measure of a man

And though the fortunes of our fathers
We aspire to rise above
When you?re born into a breed
You?re signed in blood

I?m a poor mans son
Workin? all night long
Got a bad guitar
And a simple song
You?re a rich mans daughter
Look at what you?ve done
You went and fell in love
With a poor mans son

Baby you were born in splendor
To a house of wealth and fame
Your mother was a spender
And you grew up on a stage

And girl you coulda loved for money
Coulda fooled around for fame
You went and took a chance
On the real thing

And though the fortunes of our fathers
We aspire to rise above
When you?re born into a breed
You?re signed in blood

I?m a poor mans son
Workin? all night long
Got a bad guitar
And a simple song
You?re a rich mans daughter
Look at what you?ve done
You went and fell in love
With a poor mans son
