Poverty, Kentucky
Some grew up in povertyÂ
Because they weren't so luckyÂ
And some grew up in Poverty
Because they live in KentuckyÂ
You can be rich in Poverty
I'm not just a dreamerÂ
I know in Poverty somewhereÂ
Someone drives a BeemerÂ
In this town of Poverty
Are there any homeless camps?
And does everyone in this town
Get blessed with food stamps?
Some guy named this town Poverty
Because he didn't like his snobby neighbors
And maybe once the snobs moved out
He forgot to change the name laterÂ
Well the poor Poverty name stuck
And if you live in a trailer in this town
You kind of live in double Poverty
It truly has to make you downÂ
Well if I ever move to PovertyÂ
I would buy a super nice rig
Then I could show all my friendsÂ
How in Poverty I made it bigÂ
