[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?
