I GOT IT HONEST

Recorded by Aaron Tippin

Words and music by A. Tippin, B. Burke and M. Johnson

[D] It ain't nothin' but a small frame house on an [G] acre [D] lot

It ain't that much diff'rent from any other [A7] house on the [D] block

And it may not look like we got our [G] share of the pro-[D] mise

But at least one thing's for [A7] sure, I GOT IT [D] HONEST.

Roll out of the sack ev'ry mornin', head on down to the mill

Give 'em all I got for eight, 'cause that's the deal

If you'll check out my paycheck

Well, you'll see that there ain't that much on it

But ev'ry single penny I'm paid, I GOT IT HONEST.

I [G] never had to hang my head in shame

For [D] puttin' a price tag on my name

[G] Never turned back on what I believe

Or [E] let my heart be ruled by [A7] greed

'Cause [D] buddy if I didn't [G] earn it, I don't [D] want it

That way I can always [A7] say, I GOT IT [D] HONEST.

Now you ain't looking at some dude

That was born with a Silver spoon in his mouth

And I might seem like some kind of low-life

To that high-falutin' crowd

But I'm plain spoken, straight talkin'

And damn proud of what I have accomplished

Some folks appreciate that and some don't

But, I GOT IT HONEST.

CHANGE TO E:

Now when I die, I may not leave my kids a fortune

But I hope they knowed my life stood for things that were important

And I'll hand out the same sturdy old values of my daddy and my momma

It made me every ounce of what I am and I GOT IT HONEST.
