Poor Boy's a Long Way From Home lyrics
by JOEL SATTLER

poor boy poor boy's
a long way from home
poor boy is a long way from home
look at him on the dock sitting all alone
look at him on the dock sitting all alone
tears streaming from his eyes and falling in the sea
tears streaming from his eyes and falling in the sea
and we both all know he could be you or me

once I was a free man
happy rich and free
once I was a free man
happy rich and free
now I aint got no place
where I can drink my tea
now I aint got no place
just got misery
now I aint got no place
I just got misery

life I know just aint fair
it's got its ups and downs
life aint no goddam fair
in village or in town
but once in a while
you need a break I found
but once in a long while
you need to break it down

the road goes ever on
ever on I'm told
the road goes ever on
and I am on that road
just another poor boy
I just had to roam
just another poor boy
a long long way from home

As I read, Otis Redding, "Sittin' on the dock of the Bay," came to mind.
