1
My life with trouble goes back to the candy
2
That I stole from Jessie Walker's country store
3
A penny separated me from choosing sides with honesty
4
And I just got tired of being poor.
5
Some folks eat their supper off of silver
6
And the only world they'll ever know is wealth
7
But I can't blame the rich folks for these big stone walls
8
This prison is the doings of myself.
9
Freedom ran away from me at twenty-three
10
I broke the lock on one to many doors
11
My hungry hands would not behave
12
When they got close to things they crave
13
I just got tired of bein' poor.
14
I remember Willie Jack who laughed at me
15
And the talking about the ragged clothes I wore
16
That's when Willie got a taste of all knuckles in his face
17
I just got tired of bein' poor.
18
Some folks eat their supper off of silver
19
And the only world they'll ever know is wealth
20
But I can't blame the rich folks for these big stone walls
21
This prison is the doings of myself.
22
Freedom ran away from me at twenty-three
23
I broke the lock on one to many doors
24
My hungry hands would not behave
25
When they got close to things they crave
26
I just got tired of bein' poor.
27
I just got tired of bein' poor
