I'm Just A Poor Boy

"I'm Just A Poor Boy" is my may 2017 song. As always, I have completed the writing, full performance, and mixing. Please feel free to hit on any thing.
Cheers,
Terry
I'm just a poor boy -  https://www.reverbnation.com/silverbeat/song/28043360-im-just-a-poor-boy

I was born in a poor man's home
From a poor man's life
With a poor mans wife
I was born a poor American Child
Never had much, or any thing nice
Each day I woke, I paid the price
Yeah - Being poor was seen as trouble and wild
 
Chorus
 
I'm just a poor boy
Searching for a way
To find  Truth and meaning
And live another day
I'm just a poor boy
That's putting up a fight
As long as I'm breathing
I will be doing alright [ 
 
I was on the wrong road of life
The wrong road to know
The right way to go
I shared a web with unscrupulous liars
Living on hope, and searching for truth
Caught in a lie, most of my youth  
Yeah nothing seemed to gain my needed desire
 
Repeat chorus
 
There's no stopping 
I'm not giving in
There's plenty to life and ways to win.
 
Repeat chorus

    Your mixes sound a lot better than I remember when I was on the forums a long time back. You must really love the Cubs to do so many songs about them. Nothing wrong with that. Glad you are happy with the Cubs!
     
    I wish you could have done something with that monkeys cover tune I sent you : "Daydream Believer". Not sure if you remember that or have the tracks anymore. Your voice would have been perfect on that tune. 
     
    Either way, sorry to change the subject on this new tune of yours. I really like what your doing here on this tune. 
     
    I'd raise the volume level on the overall mix though : "This is the songs forum and that would be my only critic thought where the song goes", I'm speaking of the volume, make it a bit louder overall and in your face. 
     
    Sounded great to my ears Terry, all crits aside, I enjoyed hearing this one very much! Although I can't say "GO CUBBIES" I have to say : "GO BRAVES!"
     
    Take care my friend, keep on keepin' on!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Nice tune.  I listened on headphones.  Catchy.  The piano sounded great.  Really nice tone.  If I was your producer I would suggest you open up the chorus at the end with gang vocals and verb.  Really big like, "Where the hell did that come from?"  Catch the listener off guard.  But I'm not your producer...  Good job!
