Trace Adkins
Poor Folks
[Verse 1]
We've got a Styrofoam cooler in the back of my old Ford truck
Reaching over the side for brew 'cause the tailgates stuck
A couple lines in the water, hey, I think you've got a bite
And I wonder what the poor folks are doing tonight?

[Verse 2]
We could have drove this old truck on into town, caught the 9 o'clock show
But I'd just as soon be sitting here with you listening to the radio
I've got your name on my left arm, and your body in my right, ha ha
I wonder what the poor folks are doing tonight?

[Chorus]
The ones out there who ain't got nothing on us
They've got everything else in the world, but it ain't enough
Wishing they were the owners of a love like yours and mine
And I wonder what the poor folks are doing tonight?

[Verse 3]
You know the truth is, you and me, can't buy a whole lot of fancy things
And we're not on a first name basis with the folks down at the bank
But we know we've got it all when we turn out the lights
And we wonder what the poor folks are doing tonight?

[Chorus]
The ones out there who ain't got nothing on us
They've got everything else in the world, but it still ain't enough
Wishing they were the owners of a love like yours and mine
And I wonder what the poor folks are doing tonight?
Yeah, I wonder what the poor folks are doing tonight?
