I got a job, but it ainĄ¯t nearly enough
|
A twenty thousand dollar pickup truck
|
Belongs to me and the bank
|
And some funny talkinĄ¯ 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 I can
|
|
ItĄ¯s gettinĄ¯ tough, just my luck
|
I was born in the land of plenty, now there ainĄ¯t enough
|
GettinĄ¯ cold, IĄ¯ve been told
|
Well nowadays it just donĄ¯t pay to be a good olĄ¯ boy
|
|
Been goinĄ¯ nowhere down a one-way track
|
IĄ¯d kill to leave it, but ainĄ¯t no turninĄ¯ back
|
Got a wife for the kids
|
And what will everyone say
|
|
My brotherĄ¯s standinĄ¯ on a welfare line
|
And any minute now I might get mine
|
And meanwhile itĄ¯s the I. R. S. and the devil to pay
|
|
Well, gettinĄ¯ tough, just my luck
|
I was born in the land of plenty, now there ainĄ¯t enough
|
GettinĄ¯ cold, IĄ¯ve been told
|
Well nowadays it just donĄ¯t pay to be a good olĄ¯ boy
|
|
Well, I go out here every Friday night
|
Spend a little money, lookinĄ¯ for a fight
|
And it donĄ¯t matter if I lose or win
|
ĄŽCause Monday IĄ¯m back on the losinĄ¯ end again
|
|
GettinĄ¯ tough, itĄ¯s just my luck
|
I was born in the land of plenty, now there ainĄ¯t enough
|
GettinĄ¯ cold, IĄ¯ve been told
|
Well nowadays it just donĄ¯t pay to be a good olĄ¯ boy
|
|
GettinĄ¯ tough, itĄ¯s just my luck
|
I was born in the land of plenty, now there ainĄ¯t enough
|
GettinĄ¯ cold, IĄ¯ve been told
|
Well nowadays it just donĄ¯t pay to be a good olĄ¯ boy
