Clutch - Let A Poor Man Be Lyrics






I'm gonna move to the outskirts of town
Where none of your friends are hanging around
That's right, I'm gonna move to the other side of town
Where none of your business is hanging around

Woman, please let a poor man be. Let a poor man be
Columbia, girl, please let a poor man be. Let a poor man be

I'm gonna build a castle out of Goodyear tires,
Cinderblock and busted doors; that's where I'll retire.
Gonna dig a mote. Fill it up with ale.
Not much of a defense, I know, but the supply never fails.

When you come knocking all in tears wringing hands and genuflecting,
You'll understand that I am a busy man and my subjects demand my attention.
These walls don't build themselves and I am running out of time.
So if you desire anything else, you had better get in line.

    I'm gonna have to subscribe to your channel, I'd like to see you post the things you like. And if in this time anything has happened to you or your family, I would like to extend my deepest condolences.

  23. D.... L....

    Best fucking hard rock metal band in decades, maybe the best. We will see what the future brings .I have great confidence in this band

    D.... L....

    they have been rocking for like 30 years lol...

    D.... L....

    Im a big Clutch fan Ive been following them since 97, so when I say Im a fan I am. But that statement is light without any thought to other bands that rock just as good. At a certain point they are all good rock and roll bands, then it becomes personal preference. For me that can change daily depending on my mood. Some have come and gone before they even got to slow their roll. Im not saying that are not deserving of that term. But you cant take away from the rest. In rock "metal" things tighten up a lot but I dont go by terms like that. They either rock or they dont. Ill give ya a few to think about,. God Smack,.. Zakk Wylde, Black Crows, Rage Against the Machine. 3 Doors Down, Drop Box, The Black Keys, Audio Slave, Slash with any one he plays with, lot a bands made or are making good music. Not all fall into the Rock "Metal" term but they rock none the less.

  24. M.... 2....

    clutch is fuckin badass!!!

  25. H.... J....

    MELECHESH font

  26. s.... t....

    I BEEN JAMMING AND SEEING SINCE 1997 BOUT 25 TIMES BEST MOSHPIT IN DETROIT

    s.... t....

    shawn tay right the fuck on, man! Me too! Maybe 96?

  27. C.... C....

    Clutch is one of if not the greatest band of all time!

  28. D.... K....

    Great stuff

  29. r.... s....

    Take this job and cram it i ain't woken here no more

  30. u.... ....

    there's the cure- just pry the gun out of a Texan's hand and stick a guitar in it.

    u.... ....

    be careful that guitar spits fire

  31. d.... r....

    just remembered a line from my old band, so if u got enough to keep on buzzin, move on over cause here comes my french cousin DUTCH UNCLE- the BEAST

  32. t.... r....

    you guys rock.

  33. C.... C....

    What a phenomenal performance!

  34. C.... L....

    Best place to see them is a small club

  35. L.... S....

    MGTOW!!!!!!!!-

  36. C.... A....

    Puta som foda

  37. S.... S....

    Workin' it all night. Finally get home with a honey. I put on Let a Poor Man Be. 2 minutes in, she leaves. She will never know my pain. I have a fundme account if you can spare a buck.

  40. S.... D....

    One of Clutch's best!

  41. K.... m....

    I like bein poor cause in the words of my buddy Purnell bitches be trippin!

  42. G.... D....

    let a poor man be!!

  43. M.... ....

    word on that phantasomtserr

  44. J.... D....

    the drums

    J.... D....

    JP Gaster is one hell of a drummer. He practices EVERY DAY. Look up some of his videos on here, you will appreciate him even more when he talks about his craft. Hes a true musician, not just a guy banging on some drums.

  45. T.... T....

    is clutch a christian band?

    T.... T....

    freemasons

    T.... T....

    They aren't a christian band per se but they incorporate a lot of religious imagery and references in their songs. 7 Jam is the one of the few examples of a song that can be a fucking headbanger rockfest of a tune but still be pretty uplifting with some extremely spiritual lyrics, referencing Samson, Bedlam and some less specific general christian symbols

    T.... T....

    It's called rock n roll ...

    T.... T....

    Probably not. More like it's a big part of american culture in the west and the south. We're all raised in it out in the boonies, it's a common language. Even when you're an atheist, you know the bible better than some preachers, and that intimacy with the religion is why most folk leave it behind when they grow up.

  46. b.... ....

    these walls don't build themselves

    b.... ....

    bootstomp77 says Trump to Mexico. hahaha

  47. b.... ....

    p.... ....

    phantomshTTer very true friend

    p.... ....

    p.... ....

    F'in A bro! thankfully, I found the one perfect woman who didn't let that stop her, lucky me! but, it took a while to find her lol

    p.... ....

    Not a real , stand up woman. I met my husband 40 years ago. We both made less than minium wage. We worked and together got " not poor"

  51. A.... B....

    Let a fucking poor man be woman

  52. M.... W....

    ear ecstasy

  53. m.... r....

    Clutch son!!!!!

  54. g.... ....

    g.... ....

  55. D.... R....

    Never get sick of Clutch. They are the band that keeps on giving haha.

  56. T.... S....

    Anyone who enjoys this, check out my channel to hear some of their as yet unreleased 2015 songs.  Its amazing how much they've grown; only getting better and fucking better!  Who could have even thought that was possible.
    Check out the stuff I captured from their New Year's Eve show at the 9:30 Club in Washington D.C.

  57. S.... S....

    Every noise Clutch makes RULES!!!

  58. J.... S....

    The end kind of sounds like 'When the Levee Breaks'.

  59. N.... N....

    I agree 100% definitely underrated.

  60. N.... N....

    A brother of mine reminded me of there awesomeness. A long time ago I heard a, "A Shogun Named Marcus". At first I didn't care for them. Over time Clutch has become one of my favourites. I love all there music. Still. My favourite is, "Abraham Lincoln". Not to go mtv on anyone. It's just a killer tune, intelligently pieced together. These guys are pros.
    Lol end chapter one.

  61. M.... ....

    hell yea CLUTCH FOR LIFEEEEE SEEN THEM THRICE

    M.... ....

    Lucky you.

    M.... ....

    @MikSane I, too, have seen them thrice. Kansas, Florida and Louisanana (New Orleans).

    M.... ....

    +Reverend Benzo Five times. Chico twice. Sacramento, Reno, San Francisco.

    M.... ....

    +MikSane three times this year alone. Clutch is the best band I know of.

    M.... ....

    23 for me. I'd go to a Clutch show on my deathbed if it came down to it.

  62. X.... D....

  63. D.... M....

    Like Zeppelin if Robert Plant had a Man's voice

    D.... M....

    Zep has nuthin' on the mighty Clutch.

    D.... M....

    @Christopher George I guess ZZ top has obvious similarities with Clutch. Cant really see any with led zepp

    D.... M....

    Hahaha! I'm a zepp fan but i still laughed hard. The man is right.

    D.... M....

    t.... b....

    First of October will be my 13th time. Last time I saw them I fractured c-7,8,9. Some sloppy fuck flew into me. Only thing that broke my fall was a metal guard rail.

  93. d.... ....

    Apparently, you do. Backstreet boys lol. Backdoor guys? Don't shit this kind of music if you listen to that garbage.

  94. f.... ....

    Probably because most people listen to what basically amounts to auditory fecal matter.

  95. d.... ....

    Really confused on why they aren't hugely famous by now. One of the best bands I've ever heard.

    d.... ....

    dragonmoo88 ...it's simply because they have their own record company and will never see any real credit or radio time....

  96. t.... ....

    May Clutch be proclaimed across all across the land, mountain top to mountain top, sea to shining sea!
