Poor Folks Town

Come on down have a look around at rich folks living in a poor folks town
We got no money but we're rich in love that's one thing that we've got a plenty of
So come on down have a look around at rich folks living in a poor folks town
We got no carpets on the floor we've got wall to wall love who could ask for more
We got no fancy things to show just a place to watch our children grow
So come on down...
We got no big fine car to drive and no fancy clothes to keep in style
We're rich in things that life can give that can't be bought with a dollar bill
So come on down...
Got a little simple church near by and the promise of a mansion in the sky
Got a heart of gold a million dollar smile and satin clouds at silvery line
So come on down...
So come on down...
