It ain't nothin' but a
small frame house on
an acre lot
It ain't that

much different
And it may not look
like we got all our
share of the promise
But at least one

thing's for sure I got

it honest
I roll out of the sack
every mornin' head
on down to the mill
Give 'em alll got for

a cause that's
the deal
And if you check out

my paycheck
But every single

penny that I pay I
got it honest
I never had to hang

my head in shame
'Cause buddy ifI

didn't earn it I don't
want it
That way I can

always say I got

it honest
And I might seem

like some kind of
low life
But I'm plain spoken

straight talkin'
Some folks

appreciate that
Now When I die I may

not leave my kids

a fortune
But I hope they know
that my life stood for
things important
And I'll hand out the
same old values of
my daddy
and momma
It made me every
ounce of what I am
and I got it honest
I've never had to

hang my head

in shame
Or letmy heart be

ruled by greed
'Cause brother if I

didn't earn it I don't
want it
That way I can

always say I got

it honest
Friend there ain't no

doubt about it I got
it honest
