INTRO: A G D A A G D A

I got a job but it ain’t nearly enough
A 20 thousand dollar pick-up truck
Belongs to me and the bank and some funny-talkin’ man from Iran
I left the service got a GI loan
I got married bought myself a home
Now I hang around this one horse town and do the best I can

CHORUS:
Gettin’ t

ough
Just my luck
I was born in the land of plenty now there ain’t enough
Gettin’ cold
I’ve been told
Yeah nowadays it just don’t pay to be a good ol’ boy

INTRO

Been goin’ nowhere down a one way track
I’d kill to leave it but there ain’t no turnin’ back
Got the wife and the kids, what would everybody say
My brother’s standin’ on a welfare line
Any minute now I might get mine
Meanwhile there’s the IRS and the devil to pay

CHORUS

BREAK: A G D A A G D A G E A G D A

BRIDGE:

I hit the beer joints every Friday night
Spend a little money lookin’ for a fight
It don’t matter if I lose or win
’Cause Monday I’m back on the losin’ end again

CHORUS (2x)

INTRO out
