Good Ol’ Boy(Gettin’ Tough) Lyrics – Steve Earle & The Dukes
Singer: Steve Earle & The Dukes
Title: Good Ol’ Boy(Gettin’ Tough)
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

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
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 the wife and the kids and what will 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
It’s all 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 joints every Friday night
Spend a little money lookin’ for a fight
But 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
