Testo Poor Boy Mat Kearney
Like a breath of fresh air and the wind at my back
Toe to heel with strong strides taking miles off the map
In this journey called life where Iâve walked so far
Under the heat of your sun and the shine of your stars
Step by step Iâve crept, Iâve crawled, and Iâve run
Felt the palm of your hand and the barrel of deathâs gun
I ran for my life stood strong through strife
From a miscarried life to waiting for my wife like
I heard it sung a thousand strong all night long
Heard heavenâs bell going something long, itâs like
Iâve been there in total despair
Now Iâve tasted and Iâve touched
A breath of fresh air
âCause I do live and I hope and pray
For something better and brighter today
For something there for something there
CHORUS:
âCause I was just a poor boy living in a poor world
But you gave me more love that set me free
âCause I was just a poor boy living in a poor world
But you have gave me more love that set me free
Like road trips on open roads
Windows down sun setting and fresh new clothes
Shoes off so you can stop reflect on all these paths unfolding
With these staffs that are pulling in this world so controlling
Itâs not always best to take the interstate
Sometimes the most is on the windy coast way
âCause wide is the path pulling astray
Narrow is the truth in these days
But all the while I hear a still small voice say
You climbed the cliffs rocked the desert on your very own
Swam the seas, sang the songs with the sweetest tones
The beaches youâve combed, moons youâve roamed the love youâve shown
But all the while a voice calls you home
âCause I do live and I hope and pray
For something better and brighter today
For something there for something there
CHORUS
