We Are Not Poor Here

lyrics

We are not poor here. We live out our days in church mouse luxury: A casserole dish and a brown beer. A bushel of farm-fresh while we pay off the loans. We know how to overwinter. Hell, we're practically wholesome. In a few years, we'll splurge a little. Maybe tear down that old garage. We've got a few keepsakes: The rack with the good china and a Liberty silver dollar from 1922. And we are not poor here. We live out our days in church mouse luxury: A casserole dish and a brown beer. A bushel of farm-fresh while we pay off the loans. We've had a few good years. If we're lucky we'll have a good few dozen more. For we are not poor here. We are not poor here. We are not poor here.
