You weren't born to just pay bills and die
You weren't born to just pay bills and die
All you need is a dog, a shack, a creek in the back
And a, a good woman to hold
Don't need that rich man's gold
My granddaddy grew up on dirt floors
The whole county was dirt poor
And momma died when he was four
What a damn shame
Grew tobacco and raised hogs
With seven youngins and some old dogs
I reckon they were livin' high on the hog
Way back in their day
He'd say, "You weren't born, to just pay bills and die"
You weren't born to just pay bills and die
All you need is a dog, a shack, a creek in the back
And a, a good woman to hold
You don't need that rich man's gold
Oh, I forgot this part
Sorry, bye
