Good Ol' Boy (Getting' 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, got a G.I. |
| loan |
| I got married, bought myself a home |
| Now I hang around this one horse town |
| And do the best that I can |
| It’s getting tough, just my luck |
| I was born in The Land of Plenty |
| Now there ain’t enough |
| Getting cold, I’ve been told |
| Well, 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 |
| An' any minute now, I might get mine |
| Meanwhile, it’s the I.R.S. |
| An' the Devil to pay |
| Getting tough, just my luck |
| I was born in The Land of Plenty |
| Now there ain’t enough |
| Getting cold, I’ve been told |
| Well, nowadays it just don’t pay |
| To be a good ol' boy |
| Well, I hit the beer joint every Friday night |
| Spend a little money, lookin' for a fight |
| An' it don’t matter if I lose or win |
| 'Cause Monday I’m back on the losin' end again |
| Getting tough, it’s just my luck |
| I was born in The Land of Plenty |
| Now there ain’t enough |
| It’s getting cold, I’ve been told |
| Well, nowadays it just don’t pay |
| To be a good ol' boy |
| Getting tough, just my luck |
| I was born in The Land of Plenty |
| Now there ain’t enough |
| Well, getting cold, I’ve been told |
| Well, nowadays it just don’t pay |
| To be a good ol' boy |
