INTRO: A G D A A G D A

A

I got a job but it ain't nearly enough

A

A 20 thousand dollar pick-up truck

G D A G D

Belongs to me and the bank and some funny-talkin' man from Iran

A

I left the service got a GI loan

A

I got married bought myself a home

G D A G D

Now I hang around this one horse town and do the best I can

CHORUS:

A G D A

Gettin' tough

G D A

Just my luck

A E

I was born in the land of plenty now there ain't enough

A G D A

Gettin' cold

A G D A

I've been told

D E A

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:

D G A

I hit the beer joints every Friday night

D G A

Spend a little money lookin' for a fight

D G A

It don't matter if I lose or win

D E

'Cause Monday I'm back on the losin' end again

CHORUS (2x)

INTRO out
