[Verse 1]
Baby if you really love me
You had better understand
That the silver in your pocket
Ain't no measure of a man

[Pre-Chorus]
And though the fortunes of our fathers
We aspire to rise above
When you're born into a breed
You're signed in blood

[Chorus]
I'm a poor man's son
Workin' all night long
Got a bad guitar
And a simple song
You're a rich man's daughter
Look at what you've done
You went and fell in love
With a poor man's son

[Verse 2]
Baby you were born in splendor
To a house of wealth and fame
Your mother was a spender
And you grew up on a stage
And girl you coulda loved for money
Coulda fooled around for fame
You went and took a chance
On the real thing
[Pre-Chorus]
And though the fortunes of our fathers
We aspire to rise above
When you're born into a breed
You're signed in blood

[Chorus]
I'm a poor man's son
Workin' all night long
Got a bad guitar
And a simple song
You're a rich man's daughter
Look at what you've done
You went and fell in love
With a poor man's son
