Poor Boy Like Me

Love never knocked on my door

I thought it just weren't meant to be

There's no tellin' what lies in store

I still find it hard to believe

She could ever fall for

A poor boy like me

Holes in my shoes and my jeans

I thought I'd need a change of scene

Used '60 Chevrolet

Hit the road, take me far away

Landed down in Tennessee

Runnin' wild, runnin' free

Came back home broke as I could be

There was someone waiting there for me

Love never knocked on my door

I thought it just weren't meant to be

There's no tellin' what lies in store

I still find it hard to believe

She could ever fall for

A poor boy like me

Who'd have thought the girl next door

Would be the one I'd been longing for

Not a dollar to my name

In her eyes it didn't mean a thing

Love never knocked on my door

I thought it just weren't meant to be

There's no tellin' what lies in store

I still find it hard to believe

She could ever fall for

A poor boy like me

50 years have gone by

She's still the apple of my eye

Don't know what she saw in me

But what's meant to be will surely be

Love never knocked on my door

I thought it just weren't meant to be

There's no tellin' what lies in store

I still find it hard to believe

She could ever fall for

A poor boy like me

That she could fall for

A poor boy like me

For a poor boy like me
