[Verse 1]
D                  G
I used to drive my truck ‘cross the train tracks
D                 G
A hard day's work piled up in the back
Bm                 A                                 G
Muddy boots and a grease stained Atlanta Braves cap, yeah
G
I was just a poor boy

D                     G
I felt a little outta place on your front porch
D                        G                       Bm
The look on your daddy’s face when he opened the door
                     A                      G
Everything he didn’t say told me he wasn’t sure
 G
‘Bout this poor boy


[Chorus]
Bm             D            A
But you didn’t worry ‘bout what I wasn’t
G          Bm          A
You didn’t care that I came from nothin’
G           D
All I could give you was my love and
    Bm  A      G
The key to the heart
G             D G D G
Of a poor boy


[Verse 2]
D                           G                        D
I'd crack a smile when them rich boys would look our way
                                G                  Bm
I knew that they were thinkin’, man there ain’t no way
                         D                       G
He can't keep her happy, no that girl won’t ever stay
G
With that poor boy


[Chorus]
Bm              D           A
But you didn’t worry ‘bout what I wasn’t
G          Bm          A
You didn’t care that I came from nothin’
G           D
All I could give you was my love and
    Bm  A      G
The key to the heart
G
Of a poor boy

[Solo]
Bm A G A

[Bridge]
     Em
Baby we just kept on rockin’ on
     A
In a beat up truck, a Keith Whitley song
Em
Girl your heart of gold
G          A
Proved ‘em all wrong


[Chorus]
       G          D
‘Cause you didn’t worry ‘bout what I wasn’t
 G         Bm           A
You didn’t care that I came from nothin’
G           D
All I could give you was my love and
    Bm  A      G
The key to the heart
G             D
Of a poor boy


[Outro]
G                     D
I was just a poor boy
G                    D  G    D   G D
You loved a poor boy, yeah, yeah
