"Poor Man's Son" is a song by American rock band Survivor, released in October 1981 as the second single from their second studio album Premonition (1981). It is their first Top 40 hit, peaking at number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song drew the attention of actor Sylvester Stallone, who called Jim Peterik with a request for the band to write the theme song for the film Rocky III in a similar style, leading to Survivor recording their signature song, "Eye of the Tiger".
