[Verse 1]
We've got a GStyrofoam cooler in the Dback of my old Chevy truckG  
Reaching over the side for brew D'cause the tailgates stuckG  
A couple of Clines in the water, hey, I think you've got a biteG  C  
G/DI wonder what the Poor DFolks are doing Gtonight?
We could have Gdrove this old truck on into town Dand caught the 9 o'clock showG  
But I'd just as soon be sitting here with you Dlistening to the radioG  
I've got your Cname on my left arm, and your body in my GrightC  
G/DI wonder what the Poor DFolks are doing Gtonight?
[Chorus]
CThe ones out there who ain't got nothing Gon us
They got everything else in this world, but it ain't Denough
CWishing they were the owners of Ga love like G/Byours and Cmine
G/DI wonder what the DPoor Folks are doing Gtonight?
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
GYou know the truth is, you and me Dcan't buy a whole lotta Gfancy nice things
And we ain't on no first name basis Dwith the folks down at the Gbank
CBut we know we've got it all Gwhen we turn out the Clights
G/DI wonder Dwhat the Poor Folks are doing to- Gnight?
[Chorus]
CThe ones out there who ain't got nothing Gon us
They got everything else in this world, but it still Dain't enough
CWishing they were the owners of Ga love like G/Byours and Cmine
G/DI wonder what the Poor DFolks are doing Gtonight?

CYeah, I wonder G/Dwhat the Poor DFolks are doing Gtonight?
