Mat Kearney - Poor Boy

Mat Kearney - Poor Boy from Bullet, his first album, released by InPop Records, a Christian record label.

Lyrics:

Like a breath of fresh air and the wind at my back
Toe to heel with strong strides taking miles off the map
In this journey called life where I've walked so far
Under the heat of your sun and the shine of your stars
Step by step I've crept, I've crawled, and I've run
Felt the palm of your hand and the barrel of death's gun
I ran for my life stood strong through strife
From a miscarried life to waiting for my wife like
I heard it sung a thousand strong all night long
Heard heaven's bell going something long, it's like
I've been there in total despair
Now I've tasted and I've touched
A breath of fresh air

'Cause I do live and I hope and pray
For something better and brighter today
For something there for something there

[CHORUS:]
'Cause I was just a poor boy living in a poor world
But you gave me more love that set me free
'Cause I was just a poor boy living in a poor world
But you have gave me more love that set me free

Like road trips on open roads
Windows down sun setting and fresh new clothes
Shoes off so you can stop reflect on all these paths unfolding
With these staffs that are pulling in this world so controlling
It's not always best to take the interstate
Sometimes the most is on the windy coast way
'Cause wide is the path pulling astray
Narrow is the truth in these days
But all the while I hear a still small voice say
You climbed the cliffs rocked the desert on your very own
Swam the seas, sang the songs with the sweetest tones
The beaches you've combed, moons you've roamed the love you've shown
But all the while a voice calls you home

'Cause I do live and I hope and pray
For something better and brighter today
For something there for something there

[theassassin43]

I like this one a little better but yeah, there are 2 versions. I heard the one you were referring to before this version.

[jpaya030]

where can i buy this song

[theassassin43]

It's an album called Bullet. Not sold in stores. I don't think its in production by Inpop records anymore. You can't really buy it accept for on like Ebay... But its expensive. If you look around enough, you might be able to download it from somewhere... but its not for sale anymore.

[MrSmbass1]

It sucks when good music you hear now you didn't know existed years ago. I must have been day dreaming my whole school life. Still glad i found music worth hearing.

The first bit sounds like lonely view!

[Mokgirl]

I only heard the version @tjounson1 was talking about, I just found this version. I think it'sbetter. The sound of it really works with the lyrics. I don't know how else to put it other than a refreshing and a reassuring song. This always improves my mood :)

he is so attractive & i love what he does.

If anyone's looking to purchase this album, i found a couple on amazon for various prices! it's a really good album. the percentage of the songs are carried over and reproduced to his nothing left to lose album. there are maybe 4 or 5 "new" songs on the Bullet album.

[mamasgirl51080]

Awesome track! If you can make me dance and type at the same time you're sounding pretty fantastic! Thanks!

[MattWn20]
