Can you believe me when I say There's nothin' I'd like better Than just to sit here and talk with you Although I'll rant and I'll rave About one thing and another The beauty of it is (hope you'll agree) Though I'm a poor boy I can still be happy As long as I can feel free So many people I know gettin' old way too early (Well, are you feelin' kind of weary) Just to impress you with the money they've made (You'd better, you'd better, you'd better change your theory) One drop of rain they complain And it's the same about the wage they're earnin' Well that is not the way I'm gonna be Don't mind the rain Don't mind snow Don't mind nothin' If I know You will be right here with me Well let us state our only point of view Why can't we all afford to live like you This simple life is simply not enough We have appearances we must keep up Poor boy If that's the way it's gotta be (Poor boy) It's you for you and me for me I try all I can understanding all the fools And all their money When half of what they got You know they never will use Enough to get by suits me fine I don't care if they think I'm funny I'm never gonna change my point of view Don't mind the rain Don't mind snow Don't mind nothin' If I know You will be right here with me Always, na, na, na Don't mind the rain Don't mind snow Don't mind nothin' If I know You will be right here with me

Sun down big city And all my money is gone Sun down and i'm thinkin' Back to where i used to call home Every blowhard barjockey In every town i ever knew Said if you play hard You get lucky It ain't necessarily true I'm a poorboy, big city Smalltown used to be home Poorboy, big city I've never been so all alone One time i had all the good lovin' Of a young girl in my hand I left town and never stopped runnin' Never stopped to understand Seeking unknown sensations And every new sight to be seen Took a greyhound to penn station To follow some impossible dream Now for all you sum' bitches Dreamin' out the back o' some mall Thinking somewhere else it all happens Well it dont happen at all I get by the best that i'm able Long as i'm getting stoned Got the whole world coming at me on cable I've never been so all alone
