Lyrics to Poor Man's Son

Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son. 
Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son. 

My father is a hard earned worker; my mother has a heart of gold.
I was never much younger but I feel twice as old. 

Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son. 
Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son. 

But I've got money for food and a little bit of gasoline.
I've got plenty of time but i want everything now.
But I don't need no gold or silver, 
oh I only need a few new things.
Or i would buy pearls for my lover
or just a brand new set of guitar strings. 

Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son. 
Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son. 

I feel a cold wind blowing;
dark clouds form on the western sky.
I've got a feeling like knowing that everyone here will someday die.

Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son. 
Stone cold broke in the middle of the winter, oh like a poor man's son. 

And I see the bright stars shining high above the bethlehem tower;
I hear the [bad word] of angels singing out loud the sweetest sound.

Oh brothers, let's go down.
Let's go down, won't [bad word] on down?
Oh brother, let's go down,
down in the river to pray.

But I don't need no gold or silver, 
oh I only need a few new things.
Or i would buy pearls for my lover
Or just a brand new set of guitar strings.
