Poor Kids Lyrics by Matthew Logan Vasquez

Light’n Up

2019

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
It's what poor kids do growing up too fast
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
It's what poor kids do growing up too fast
It's what poor kids do growing up too fast
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
It's what poor kids do growing up too fast
It's what poor kids do growing up too fast
