Good Ol Boy Gettin Tough

Bb
I got a Job but it ain't nearly enough
Bb
A twenty thousand dollar pickup truck
Ab
Belong to me and the bank and some
E                     Bb
Funny talkin man from Iran

Bb
I left the service got a G I loan
Bb
I got married bought myself a home
Ab                                  Bb
Now I'm hangin round this one horse town
E               Bb
Doin the best I can

[Chorus]
Bb           Bb  E
 Gettin tough
Bb           Bb  E
 Just my luck
Bb
I was born in the land of plenty
                F

[Verse 2]
Bb
I've been goin nowhere down a one way track
Bb
I'd kill to leave it but ain't no turnin back
Ab                                                Bb
Got the wife and the kids and what will everybody say

Bb
My brothers standing on the welfare line
Bb
Any minute now I might get mine
Ab                                      Bb
Meanwhile it's the IRS and the devil to pay

[Chorus]
Bb              E  Bb
    Gettin tough
Bb              E  Bb

[Bridge]
E                           Bb
I hit the beer joints every friday night
E                    Bb
Spend a little money lookin for a fight
E                    Bb
It don't matter if I lose or win
E                            Bb        F
Cause Monday I'm back on the losin end again

[Chorus]
Bb              E  Bb
