Son of a Poor Man (Live on U.S. Tour - 1976) - REO Speedwagon

Hometown lady

Leaving for the city

Bags in hand

She's boarding 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

Just pick up the telephone

And the son of a poor man

Will bring you home

Bags in hand

She's boarding 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

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

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

Just pick up the telephone

And the son of a poor man will bring you home

Bags in hand

She's boarding 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

Just pick up the telephone

And the son of a poor man

Will bring you home

And the son of a poor man

Will bring you home

And the son of a poor man

Will bring you home
