Patty Griffin - Poor Mans House слова песни
You know youve done enough when every bone is soreYou know youve prayed enough when you dont ask any moreYou know youre coming to some kind of understandingWhen every dream youve dreamed has passed and youre still standingMama says God tends to every little skinny sheepSo count your ribs and say your prayers and get to sleepNothing is louder to gods ears than a poor mans sorrowDaddy is poor today and he will be poor tomorrowHey thats the poor mans houseEverybody get a look at the poor mans houseEverywhere they went before must have turned them outAnd now theyre living in a poor mans houseTheres nothing like poverty to get you into heavenThey got a lot of wine and fish up thereAnd the breads unleavenedThey got a lot of ears that heard a whip go crackLots of missing toes and fingers and scars upon their backsDaddys been working too much for days and daysHe doesnt eatHe never says much but I think this time its got him beatIt isnt that he isnt strong or kind or cleverYour daddys poor todayAnd he will be poor foreverTey thats the poor mans houseThose kids are living in a poor mans houseThey walk to school with the soles of their shoes worn outAnd come home in the evening to the poor mans houseWhat are you chopping that wood forWhy are you growing that cornMamas sewing a brand new shirt andYoure wearing the one thats tornI guess its for some one elses kid who wasnt bornIn a poor mans houseHey take a look at that houseEverybody were living in a poor mans houseSeems like everywhere we go they find us outFind out that weve been living in a poor mans house
