Broke and lonely in Kansas
My baby said goodbye
When I found her in New Orleans

I'm not a poor boy (oh no)
A
I'm not a poor boy (oh no)

No, I'm not a poor boy
All the time I had money
She was at my side
We can have those times again
Don't you run away or hide

Wish I had a picture of that look on your face

When you saw me walking up to you in your place

Just when you were thinking I was forever gone

It's all here on the line

If you don't believe me take a look at my car

People look at me like I was some movie star

In my brand new suit I knock the ladies all dead
F# B
What more can I do to make you shake up your head

Rich and famous in Kansas
Now I'll have to go
Why should I stay in New Orleans?
It don't matter anymore
