[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

I'd crack a smile when them rich boys would look our way

In a beat up truck, a Keith Whitley song

‘Cause you didn’t worry ‘bout what I wasn’t

The key to the heart
