Donna Ulisse - Poor Mountain Boy lyrics

She wanted lots of money, you thought you'd live on love Her sights were set on city lights, to you the moon was bright enough You craved a simple life, she craved a party crowd You wanted her to stay right there and she just wanted out CHORUS: Poor mountain boy how you tried But your way of life's not what she had in mind A little run down cabin you always meant to fix On a hundred rocky acres down on sandy ridge Sad mountain boy, poor mountain boy Sad mountain boy, poor mountain boy Her dreams were always higher than the tallest hemlock pine She was always gonna leave that lonesome mountain side But you never did quit tryin' and now she's finally gone There's no way you can win her back, it's hard to just move on CHORUS: Poor mountain boy how you tried But your way of life's not what she had in mind A little run down cabin you always meant to fix On a hundred rocky acres down on sandy ridge Sad mountain boy, poor mountain boy Sad mountain boy, poor mountain boy Tag Too bad mountain boy, you poor mountain boy
