Confederate Railroad - Good Ol' Boy (Gettin’ Tough) 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 GI loan
I got married bought myself a home
Now I hang around this one horse town
And do the best than 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 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 IRS and the devil to pay

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

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

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
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 gettin' cold
I've been told nowadays it just don't pay to
Be a good ol' boy
