Good Ol' Boy (Gettin' Tough) |
| I got a job but it ain’t nearly enough |
| A twenty thousand dollar pickup truck |
| Belongs to me and the bank and some funny talkin' man from Iran |
| I left the service and got a G.I. |
| loan |
| I got married bought myself a home |
| Now I hang around this one horse town and do the best than I can |
| It’s gettin' tough |
| Just my luck |
| I was born in the land of plenty now there ain’t enough |
| Gettin' cold |
| I’ve been told |
| Nowadays it just don’t pay to be a good ol' boy |
| Been goin' nowhere down a one-way track |
| I’d kill to leave it but ain’t no turnin' back |
| Got the wife and the kids and what would everybody say |
| My brother’s standin' on a welfare line |
| And any minute now I might get mine |
| Meanwhile it’s the I.R.S. |
| and the devil to pay |
| Gettin' tough |
| Just my luck |
| I was born in the land of plenty now there ain’t enough |
| Gettin' cold |
| I’ve been told |
| Nowadays it just don’t pay to be a good ol' boy |
| 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 |
| Gettin' tough |
| It’s just my luck |
| I was born in the land of plenty now there ain’t enough |
| It’s gettin' cold |
| I’ve been told |
| Nowadays it just don’t pay to be a good ol' boy |
| Gettin' tough |
| Just my luck |
| I was born in the land of plenty now there ain’t enough |
| Gettin' cold |
| I’ve been told |
| Nowadays it just don’t pay to be a good ol' boy |
