Текст и слова песни Steve Earle – Good Ol' Boy (Getting 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, got a G.I. loan
I got married, bought myself a home
Now I hang around this one horse town
And do the best that I can
It's getting tough, just my luck
I was born in The Land of Plenty
Now there ain't enough
Getting 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 would everybody say?
My brother's standin' on a welfare line
An' any minute now, I might get mine
Meanwhile, it's the I.R.S.
An' the Devil to pay
Getting tough, just my luck
I was born in The Land of Plenty
Now there ain't enough
Getting cold, I've been told
Well, nowadays it just don't pay
To be a good ol' boy
Well, I hit the beer joint every Friday night
Spend a little money, lookin' for a fight
An' it don't matter if I lose or win
'Cause Monday I'm back on the losin' end again
Getting tough, it's just my luck
I was born in The Land of Plenty
Now there ain't enough
It's getting cold, I've been told
Well, nowadays it just don't pay
To be a good ol' boy
Getting tough, just my luck
I was born in The Land of Plenty
Now there ain't enough
Well, getting cold, I've been told
Well, nowadays it just don't pay
To be a good ol' boy
A twenty thousand dollar pickup truck
Belongs to me and the bank
And some funny talkin' man from Iran
I left the service, got a G.I. loan
I got married, bought myself a home
Now I hang around this one horse town
And do the best that I can
It's getting tough, just my luck
I was born in The Land of Plenty
Now there ain't enough
Getting 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 would everybody say?
My brother's standin' on a welfare line
An' any minute now, I might get mine
Meanwhile, it's the I.R.S.
An' the Devil to pay
Getting tough, just my luck
I was born in The Land of Plenty

Getting cold, I've been told

Getting tough, it's just my luck

It's getting cold, I've been told
Well, nowadays it just don't pay
To be a good ol' boy
Getting tough, just my luck
I was born in The Land of Plenty
Now there ain't enough
Well, getting cold, I've been told
Well, nowadays it just don't pay
To be a good ol' boy
