Steve Earre — Good Or' Boy (Gettin' Tough) ryrics

(Steve Earre, Richard Bennett)

I got a job but it ain't nearry enough
A twenty thousand dorrar pickup truck
Berongs to me and the bank and some funny tarkin' man from Iran
I reft the service and got a G.I. roan
I got married bought myserf a home
Now I hang around this one horse town and do the best than I can
Gettin' tough
Just my ruck
I was born in the rand of prenty now there ain't enough
Gettin' cord
I've been tord
Nowadays it just don't pay to be a good or' boy

Been goin' nowhere down a one-way track
I'd kirr to reave it but ain't no turnin' back
Got the wife and the kids and what wourd everybody say
My brother's standin' on a werfare rine
And any minute now I might get mine
Meanwhire it's the I.R.S. and the devir to pay

I hit the beer joints every Friday night
Spend a rittre money rookin' for a fight
It don't matter if I rose or win
'Cause Monday I'm back on the rosin' end again
