Poor Man

[Verse 1]
He’s an asphalt man just like his daddy
Ten hour days of rolling tar buys a double wide
Down an old dirt road outside the city
On the edge of a muddy creek and the county line

[Chorus]
Oh Maggie, keep an eye on the water line
The car won’t start and the money never comes in on time
Oh Maggie, keep an eye on the water line
I feel it moving

[Verse 2]
They’ve got a baby on the way but his wife still feels empty
Says it’s hard to feel pretty when their always counting dimes
He sits up nights in the kitchen in the dark when it’s raining
He can’t sleep for the sound pounding in his mind

[Chorus]
Oh Maggie, keep an eye on the water line
The car won’t start and the money never comes in on time
Oh Maggie, keep an eye on the water line
I feel it moving
I’m not a bad man, I’m a poor man
I’m not a bad man, I’m a poor man
I’m not a bad man, I’m a poor man sinking
