Poor Man's Pocket

Verse 1

Woke up on a Tuesday with a hole in my boot

The rent man hollered louder than a hound

I chopped a cord of wood just to buy me some soup

And the boss man said boy stick around

I said sir, I'll be gone come the morning blue

Pre-Chorus

Cause a dollar goes a mile when you walk it alone

And a nickel buys a spot for a gamblin' man

Chorus

I ain't got nothing but I got enough

Got a tin roof band and a ragged ol' dog

I ain't got nothing but I got enough

Got a jug I'm a chugging, and a song or two

(Whoo)

Hey hey I'm a rich man walking

(Whoo)

Hey hey with a poor man's pocket

Verse 2

My brother fights n' drinks,

spits gravel and grit

My sister sells tomatoes,

off the back of a truck

The banker down the road,

he don't care how we live

Just as long as he gets,

his dime on time

We're working for a livin',

with a little moonshine

Pre-Chorus

Cause a dollar goes a mile when you walk it alone

And a nickel buys a spot for a gamblin' man

Chorus

I ain't got nothing but I got enough

Got a tin roof band and a ragged ol' dog

I ain't got nothing but I got enough

Got a jug I'm a chugging,

and a song or two

(Whoo)

Hey hey I'm a rich man walking

(Whoo)

Hey hey with a poor man's pocket

Bridge

Sweat on the brow and mud on the shoes

Tired in the bones but the evening is mine

Laughing at the table till the moon goes down

Hallelujah for a hard old time

Chorus

I ain't got nothing but I got enough

Got a tin roof band and a ragged ol' dog

I ain't got nothing but I got enough

Got a jug I'm a chugging,

and a song or two

(Whoo)

Hey hey I'm a rich man walking

(Whoo)

Hey hey with a poor man's pocket

Just a poor man's pocket

Outro

Ain't got nothing

Ain't that something

Yeah

Ain't that enough
