    1. Poor But Satisfied

    From the recording Stay Primal

    Share

    A barn burner to end the album. Solos galore, including washtub bass, washboard, harmonica, mandolin, cigar box guitar and jug!!!

    Lyrics were originally written as a ballad, but reworked into a pickin' & grinnin' song here.

    Lyrics

    POOR BUT SATISFIED
    by Shane Speal
    (c) 2017 Shane Speal Music (BMI)
    If my heart was a house
    And my love was a ring
    If my demons quit calling
    And they paid me to sing

    If my bills would go away
    Give my life a brand new start
    I would build us both a new life
    I would give you all my heart

    I ain’t got no possessions
    I ain’t got no roof overhead
    I ain’t got no direction
    No place to lay my weary head
    Well I’m poor but satisfied
    Thankful for my daily bread

    But my heart has no roof
    And my love is just that
    I got hell on the phone
    And my voice is just flat

    I got bills to the sky
    And my life is torn apart
    I just try to keep it going
    Just to give you all my heart
