_ I worked all summer, couldn't save a cent I gave all of my money to the government
I don't know quite how I got the plans But the banks are coming for my deed, boy
The man at the mill can't see it, boy He'll be getting my feet for free, boy
Ain't that the way it is? _ _
_ _ _ Well, I climbed the gravel road I traded my [A] stock for a V8, boy
Dance floor ten down on the floor, boy And the cotter rolled down to me, boy
That gasoline ain't for three, boy It's for putting out my need, boy
Ain't that the way it is? _

_ _ _ _ _ I met me a woman down in St.
[D] Paul I even met her [A] mother and I met her pa
Her blood told me to bust my jaw If I talked to his sister again, boy
Told me I couldn't win, boy There's [D] blood running [A] down my chest now
Ain't that the way it is?
_ _ _ Boy, I slept all night on the barroom floor When [D] I woke up this morning my [A] head was sore
Pockets empty but I want some more Now the barman's got [A] my car, boy
The task was one by far, boy So [D] I'll leave her [A] down at the bar now
Ain't that the way it is? _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ Well, I hit me a ride on the way back [D] home I got [A] me a job on a family farm
Times are hard here but I can't roam I ain't got nothing more, boys
I owe that company store, boys Roads looking good for sure, boys
Ain't that the way it is?
_ _ _ _ Well, I walked on some and couldn't save a cent I gave all of my money to the government
I don't know quite how I got spent But the bank's coming for my deed, boys
Man at the mill can't see, boys They're making my feed for free, boys
But ain't that the way it is? _
