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 talking 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 getting tough just my luck

I was born in the land of plenty

Now there ain't enough

Getting cold I've been told

Well nowadays it just don't pay to be a good ol' boy

Been going nowhere down a one-way track

I'd kill to leave it but ain't no turning back

Got a wife for the kids

And what will everybody say

My brother's standing on a welfare line

And any minute now I might get mine

But meanwhile it's the I R S and the devil to pay

Well getting tough just my luck

I was born in the land of plenty

Now there ain't enough

Getting 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 looking for a fight

And it don't matter if I lose or win

Cause Monday I'm back on the losing end again

Getting tough it's just my luck

I was born in the land of plenty

Now there ain't enough

It's getting cold I've been told

Well nowadays it just don't pay to be a good ol' boy

Getting tough just my luck

I was born in the land of plenty

There ain't enough

We're getting cold I've been told

Well nowadays it just don't pay to be a good ol' boy
