Traveling Poor Boy
Brent Cobb
[1st Verse]
E
Old man in the moon, shining in my rearview
A B E
Leaving that Tennessee town
A
You're all I have to talk to, don't know
E
where my dog ran off to
F#7 B7
But he's gone, and has been for a while now
[2nd Verse]
E
Where I'm bound, well I haven't figured it out
A B E
I'm sure I'll find my usual old wrong way
A E
The cost to leave ain't cheap, I don't need no
eat or sleep
F#7 B
Even if I did, I lost my job, so I don't got much
pay (but it's okay)
[CHORUS]
A B E
Cause anymore would burn a hole in my pocket
A B E
Lord I can't afford to be a poor boy broke
A B E
Besides this pair of jeans is already threaded, tearin' at the seams
F#7 B
The last that I need is a pant leg full of smoke
A B E
Gonna ride until my ride quits riding
A B E
Then I'm gonna walk until my boots walk off
A B
Yessir, I'll be a sight when I get where
E
they're looking mean and lying
F#7
But tonight, I'm feeling free and friendly,
B E
Barely scraping change, waving goodbye
[3rd Verse]
E
Say, old man moon, I hear that you get blue too
A B E
It must be lonesome way up in the sky
A E
The stars seem mighty proud if I were you I'd hate a cloud
F#7 B
All they ever do is hang around and cry
E
Guess it ain't a shame to be rolling like a slow train
A B E (E)
Or glowing like only you do,(I'll tell you what)
A E
I'll keep right on track, if you keep shining
