Bear Cole - Poverty With A View Lyrics

Lyrics Poverty With A View - Bear Cole



I grew up in a small town where everybody was family
But when my daddy went to jail, didn't one motherfucker call me
I grew up in a small town next to a big ol' crack
And when I knocked that girl up young
They just talked shit behind my back
I grew up in a small town where all my friends did meth
And as I count up all these funerals, feeling closer to death
I grew up in a small town, still live in one today
(I'm growing roots into this decaying stage)
(Just an ancient old DJ, hey, hey)
I guess small towns ain't as cool as they say in country songs
I guess that small towns ain't as cool as they say in country songs
I live in a small town, we all go to the same bars
I live in a small town under a million stars
With a big ol' telescope and sandbags in the yards
I live in a town where every heart has a million scars
And I can feel the pain just walking down the street
That guy on the corner ain't insane, he just ain't got no food to eat
If you sell every house to some retiring snowbird
The economy here just ain't gon' keep moving forward
If you sell everything to some out-of-town jerk
Then who in the fuck is gonna do all the work? (Oh)
I guess small towns ain't as cool as they say in country songs
I guess that small towns ain't as cool as they say in country songs
It's late at night, and I'm so drunk that I'm floating
Small town vibes and ain't one goddamn thing open
I'll heat up some beans I dug out of the pantry
Poverty with a view, high rent, but ain't living fancy
And I can feel the pain just walking down the street
That guy on the corner ain't insane, he just ain't got no food to eat
And I could give a fuck who you vote for president
Just help out all my friends 'cause they can barely make the rent
(Each pay, son, fuck it)
I guess small towns ain't as cool as they say in country songs
I guess that small towns ain't as cool as they say in country songs
I guess small towns ain't as cool as they say in country songs
I guess that small towns ain't as cool as they say in country songs
Anything else then? (I love this song, song, this song)
