Poor Kids Lyrics by Kenny Foster

Somewhere in Middle America

0

[Verse 1]
Our orange juice came in a tin can that we'd shoot at
With a daisy gun we found in the woods
That was our spot 'til we got caught
And rode our bikes fast as we could
Even though the living was good
[Chorus]
They called us the poor kids
The hand me down beat up Ford kids
The got it from the Goodwill store kids
But we didn't know any different
'Cause that's how it is when you're poor, kids
Wearing all our last year's clothes kids
We were never gonna have what they did
But the shame is, they're nevеr gonna know what they missed
Those poor kids
[Verse 2]
Thеy'd probably never used a [?] as a water park
Or a cardboard box for a TV, built a tree fort
Out of spare boards or had a mattress for a trampoline
That our folks seem to see
[Chorus]
'Cause we were the poor kids
The hand me down beat up Ford kids
The got it from the Goodwill store kids
But we didn't know any different
'Cause that's how it is when you're poor, kids
Wearing all our last year's clothes kids
We were never gonna have what they did
But the shame is, they're never gonna know what they missed
Those poor kids
Oh those poor kids
[Bridge]
Looking at those days
I wouldn't change one thing yeah
We knew we had it made
But still had to hear 'em say
Oh we can still hear 'em say
[Chorus]
Look at those poor kids
The [?] interesting no kids
The never gonna be anymore kids
Living a life that was so rich
But that's how it is when you're poor, kids
Wearing all our last year's clothes kids
We were never gonna have what they did
But the shame is, they're never gonna know what they missed
Those poor kids
Oh those poor kids
Those poor kids
