Son Of A Poor Man Lyrics - The Box Set Series - Reo Speedwagon

Hometown lady, leavin' for the city 

Bags in hand, she's boardin' the train 

Her last look through the window, I saw her eyes were as red as mine 

I waved goodbye but I can't believe she's leaving 

But a woman can't be high-class in a lonely farmer's town 

And the son of a poor man ain't gonna turn your head around 

But if you ever get lonely you just pick up the telephone 

And the son of a poor man will bring you home 

Maybe soon I'll see her on some television show 

Painted lips and fingers singing for the world 

A fashion plate for sure dancin' for your plastic world 

Call me up if you can but if not well I'll understand
