Aaron Burdett - Dirt Poor Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let's think back to the lay of the land forty years ago
Building a life and building a home, not knowing where it would go
There was rain in the roof and snakes on the stoop, and what are we doing here?
Pulling treasure from another man's trash, praying that the weather would clear
But there ain't no promises here

[Chorus]
We were dream rich, but we were dirt poor
Hanging our hopes on a little more
Told each other every night
It's gonna get better if we all live right
It's gonna get better if we all live right

[Verse 2]
Middle of nowhere don't mean we don't care, there are friends all around
In those days, you spent most days helping somebody out
You grow what you eat and hide a little weed out in between the corn
And all get together on a Saturday night remembering what it's all for
Making love, not war

[Chorus]
We were dream rich, but we were dirt poor
Hanging our hopes on a little more
Told each other every night
It's gonna get better if we all live right
It's gonna get better if we all live right
[Bridge]
If anyone really knew what would happen in their lifetime, no one would have the strength to try
If anyone could anticipate the heartbreak, there would never be an end to the tears we would cry

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Well, the years rolled by and, a bit at a time, almost everything has changed
Lines that seemed so certain then have faded into gray
There are parts I wouldn't do again even if I had the chance
But there's something I sorely miss about way back then when it was simply us

[Chorus]
We were dream rich, dirt poor
Hanging our hopes on a little more
Told each other every night
It's gonna get better if we all live right
It's gonna get better if we all live right
