My family ain't got money, I still wear hand-me-downs
|
We live in a shack by the freight train track
|
In the low rent part of town
|
|
My girl that I wanna marry, she's from a wealthy background
|
She can't date or associate with a boy
|
From the low rent part of town
|
|
Some day we'll be together, she'll wear that wedding gown
|
Until then I'll spend my days, in the low rent part of town
|
|
I got me a job with the circus, working the merry-go-round
|
It's the best I can do cause they closed all the schools
|
In the low rent part of town
|
I saved up all my money, so I could take her for a big night out
|
But her dad said go back to my own kind
|
In the low rent part of town
|
|
Some day we'll be together, she'll wear that wedding gown
|
Until then I'll spend my days, in the low rent part of town
|
|
In this world, there's two kinds of people, those with money and those without
|
And I'll scrimp and scrape so I can escape,
|
From the low rent part of town
|
|
I hope we'll be together, I hope she'll wear that gown
|
I'll spend my days and my lonely nights
|
In the low rent part of town
|
|
Some day we'll be together, she'll wear that wedding gown
|
Until then I'll spend my days
|
In the low rent part of town
|
