Good Ol' Boy (Gettin' Tough) lyrics
Song information
Artist: Steve Earle Album: Guitar Town
Lyrics
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
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
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
