Good Ol' Boy (Gettin' 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 gettin' tough, just my luck
 I was born in the land of plenty, now there ain't enough
 Gettin' 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 a wife for the kids
 And what will everybody say
 My brother's standin' on a welfare line
 And any minute now I might get mine
 Well, gettin' tough, just my luck
 I was born in the land of plenty, now there ain't enough
 Gettin' 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
 And it don't matter if I lose or win
 'Cause Monday I'm back on the losin' end again
 Gettin' tough, it's just my luck
 I was born in the land of plenty, now there ain't enough
 It's gettin' cold, I've been told
 Well, nowadays it just don't pay to be a good ol' boy
 Gettin' tough, just my luck
 I was born in the land of plenty, now there ain't enough
 We're gettin' cold, I've been told
 Well, nowadays it just don't pay to be a good ol' boy
