[Verse 1]
Well, I ain't got nothin'
Nothin' I can call my own
My woman can't call me
I haven't got a telephone
Well, I wouldn't bring the heat
'Cause I'm livin' in a danger zone

[Chorus]
And I'll never get arrested
Sittin' on a poor man's throne

[Verse 2]
Well, I'd like to see my baby
Like to take her to a jewelry store
But looking through the window
Only makes a fellow hate life more
The city's bright and busy
But I've never felt so all alone

[Chorus]
And I'll never get arrestеd
Sittin' on a poor man's throne
And I'll never gеt arrested
Sittin' on a poor man's throne
Oh, no
[Verse 3]
Well, I've just been thinking
How long I've had to pay my dues
If I only had a dollar
Every time I had to sang the blues
But singing from a sucker
Is the only life I've ever known, yeah

[Chorus]
And I'll never get arrested
Sittin' on a poor man's throne
And I'll never get arrested
Sittin' on a poor man's throne

[Outro]
Babe
Oh baby

It's kinda hard, no
