I Got It Honest lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics I Got It Honest lyrics It ain t nothin but a small frame house on an acre lot It ain t that much different from any other house on the block And it may not look like we ve got all our share of the promise But at least one thing s for sure, I got it honest Roll out of the sack every mornin , head on down to the mill Give em all I got for eight, cause that s the deal If you ll check out my paycheck Well, you ll see that there ain t that much on it But every single penny I m paid, I got it honest I never had to hang my head in shame For puttin a price tag on my name Never turned my back on what I believe Or let my heart be ruled by greed Cause buddy if I didn t earn it, I don t want it That way I can always say, I got it honest Now you ain t looking at some dude That was born with a silver spoon in his mouth And I might seem like some kind of low-life To that high-falutin crowd But I m plain spoken, straight talkin And damn proud of what I have accomplished And some folks appreciate that and some don t But, I got it honest Now when I die, I may not leave my kids a fortune But I hope they know d my life stood for things that were important And I ll hand out the same sturdy old values Of my daddy and my momma It made me every ounce of what I am and I got it honest I never had to hang my head in shame For puttin a price tag on my name Never turned my back on what I believe Or let my 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 song lyrics
