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 G.I. loan    I got married bought myself a home    Now I hang around this one horse town and do the best than I can    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 I.R.S. and the devil to pay       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
