Poor Man's Heaven

In the eyes of a passerby,
I may not have much to show
But ragged ties and jagged lines
And everything that I own
Is rusted and dusted all over
In a poor man�s heaven,
A poor man�s heaven…

Some have better cars, five bedroom homes
Wealth and fame beyond dreams
But as for me, I�ve got none of those
I�ll be lucky now
If I ever see fortune smiling back at me
In a poor man�s heaven,
A poor man�s heaven…

If you count what I own,
Then yes, oh yes I am poor
But I�m rich in truth,
I�ve got all that really matters
Perspective and hope and my undying dreams of beautiful scenes
And simple, yeah simple things
Yeah I�m in heaven,
I�m in heaven,
Yeah I�m in heaven…

Some say I�ve been beaten down and run around
Chasing my tail for years
In this daily grind, this uphill climb
They all tell me “Why don�t you give up?
It�s easier than toiling on this way
In a poor man�s heaven”
A poor man�s heaven…

Well my last love walked out on me
She couldn�t quite figure me out
And there�s plenty of people now,
Who cast their pity on me,
Saying, “Man, you�re stuck in a cloud with your silly dreams…”
In a poor man�s heaven,
A poor man�s heaven…

If you count what I own,
Then yes, oh yes I am poor
But I�m rich in truth,
I�ve got all that really matters
Perspective and hope and my undying dreams of beautiful scenes
And simple, yeah simple things
Yeah I�m in heaven,
I�m in heaven,
Yeah I�m in heaven…

A poor man�s heaven,
A poor man�s heaven.
