The Poor House Lyrics

The Poor House
B. Thornton
The Boxmasters
INTRO: G
We know it's sparklin' ahead, honey I thought I'd give a call
Lookin' for tomorrow to be sunny in the midst of this snowfall
I've let you and the kids down way too long now
I'm hopin' to turn our life around if I can just figure out how
CHORUS:
I'm workin' on a plan to save our home
Keep us out of the poor house, pay off those loans
I'm workin' on a plan to save our home
Keep us out of the poor house, and I won't do it stoned
I'll sit with the grannies at the nickel machines and pull handles 'til my hands are blue
I'll do just about anything to bring a future home to you
I put down the pails of liquor, you know I tried to keep a job
I just think this'll be quicker if I can win a little off the mob
CHORUS:
I'm workin' on a plan, to save our home
Keep us out of the poor house, pay off those loans
I'm workin' on a plan to save our home
Keep us out of the poor house, now that i'm not stoned
(KEY CHANGE TO A)
Well my plan didn't work exactly honey but I do have a little good news
I'm not bringin' home any money but I didn't turn back to booze
I guess it's back to the drawin' board, ideas are startin' to brew
I'm bringin' back all I can afford and that's love to the kids and you
CHORUS:
I'm workin' on a plan to save our home
Keep us out of the poor house, pay off those loans
I'm workin' on a plan to save our home
Keep us out of the poor house, and build a house of stone
Huh, uh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-huh, huh-huh
Uh-huh-huh, uh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-huh, huh-huh
