A poor man's soul with a rich man's dream
It's all he ever had to hang his hat on.
To one day live like kings and queens
him and his girl would rule the kingdom.
They'd make love on a cloud
and wouldn't he be proud to know he gave her everything.
And his spirit would be redeemed
livin' life or so it seemed
a poor man's soul with a rich man's dream.

Stands by her man through thick and thin
It's all she ever had to hang her hat on.
She prayed he'd one day find the balance
that would set his soul to freedom.
It didn't have to be it all
Just enough that he could call something that he did to be a success.
Cause when a smile was seen
it was never as bad as it seemed
for a poor man's soul with a rich man's dream.

And she loved him till his last breath
Though he never reached the doorstep of the life he'd promised her for years.
But the queen still loved her king
though his throne was no such thing
just a poor man's soul with a rich man's dream.

But the queen still loved her king
though his throne was no such thing
just a poor man's soul with a rich man's dream.
