Patty Griffin - Poor Man's House Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • You know youve done enough when every bone is sore
  • You know youve prayed enough when you dont ask any more
  • You know youre coming to some kind of understanding
  • When every dream youve dreamed has passed and youre still standing
  • Mama says God tends to every little skinny sheep
  • So count your ribs and say your prayers and get to sleep
  • Nothing is louder to gods ears than a poor mans sorrow
  • Daddy is poor today and he will be poor tomorrow
  • Hey thats the poor mans house
  • Everybody get a look at the poor mans house
  • Everywhere they went before must have turned them out
  • And now theyre living in a poor mans house
  • Theres nothing like poverty to get you into heaven
  • They got a lot of wine and fish up there
  • And the breads unleavened
  • They got a lot of ears that heard a whip go crack
  • Lots of missing toes and fingers and scars upon their backs
  • Daddys been working too much for days and days
  • He doesnt eat
  • He never says much but I think this time its got him beat
  • It isnt that he isnt strong or kind or clever
  • Your daddys poor today
  • And he will be poor forever
  • Tey thats the poor mans house
  • Those kids are living in a poor mans house
  • They walk to school with the soles of their shoes worn out
  • And come home in the evening to the poor mans house
  • What are you chopping that wood for
  • Why are you growing that corn
  • Mamas sewing a brand new shirt and
  • Youre wearing the one thats torn
  • I guess its for some one elses kid who wasnt born
  • In a poor mans house
  • Hey take a look at that house
  • Everybody were living in a poor mans house
  • Seems like everywhere we go they find us out
  • Find out that weve been living in a poor mans house
