| [00:00.300] |
Well I worked all summer, couldn't save a cent |
| [00:02.666] |
I gave all my money to the government |
| [00:05.493] |
I don't know quite how it got spent |
| [00:07.833] |
But the bank's a-coming for my deed |
| [00:10.623] |
The man at the mill can't see, boy |
| [00:13.129] |
Let me get my feed for free, boy |
| [00:15.768] |
Ain't that the way it is? |
| [00:22.042] |
Well I cut out down a gravel road |
| [00:24.481] |
And I traded my stock for a V-8 Ford |
| [00:27.317] |
Dad's 410 down on the floorboards |
| [00:29.587] |
Hands the title on down to me |
| [00:32.276] |
That gasoline ain't free, boy |
| [00:34.748] |
Clutch wearing out my knee, boy |
| [00:37.484] |
Ain't that the way it is? |
| [00:41.373] |
|
| [01:05.439] |
Well I met me a woman down in St.Paul |
| [01:07.796] |
And I even met her ma, and I met her pa |
| [01:10.674] |
Her brother told me he'd bust my jaw |
| [01:12.932] |
If I talked to his sister again |
| [01:15.735] |
Told me I couldn't win, boy |
| [01:18.194] |
Blood running out my chin now |
| [01:20.855] |
Ain't that the way it is? |
| [01:27.025] |
Well I slept all night on the barroom floor |
| [01:29.577] |
And I woke up early morning my head was sore |
| [01:32.283] |
My pockets are empty, but I want some more |
| [01:34.672] |
The barman's got my car |
| [01:37.543] |
Tab's worth more by far, boy |
| [01:39.923] |
Leave her down at the bar now |
| [01:42.653] |
Ain't that the way it is? |
| [01:46.528] |
|
| [02:10.471] |
Well I hitched me a ride on a-way back home |
| [02:13.022] |
And I got me a job on a family farm |
| [02:15.787] |
Times are hard here, and I can't roam |
| [02:18.029] |
But I ain't got nothing more |
| [02:20.858] |
And I owe that company store, boy |
| [02:23.334] |
Road's looking good for sure, boy |
| [02:25.987] |
Ain't that the way it is? |
| [02:32.053] |
Well I worked all summer, couldn't save a cent |
| [02:34.660] |
I gave all my money to the government |
| [02:37.486] |
I don't know quite how it got spent |
| [02:39.768] |
But the bank's a-coming for my deed |
| [02:42.525] |
The man at the mill can't see, boy |
| [02:45.013] |
Let me get my feed for free, boy |
| [02:47.694] |
Ain't that the way it is? |
