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

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

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
