Jimmy LaFave – Poor Man's Dream

get out of the city
move right out of town
find a little patch of land
and sink your roots down
plant tomatoes, potatoes
and a little bit of beans
soon you'll be living
the poor man's dream

find a little country angel
love her on up
take some fresh spring water
and drink from your cup
play some mandolin, some fiddle
get a fifth of Jim Beam
soon you'll be living
the poor man's dream

find peace and harmony
with the lay of the land
stand beneath the big sky
and count all the stars
that you can
take off your clothes
jump in a clear running stream
soon you'll be living
the poor man's dream
