Broke

It's whatcha make is whatcha earn
A
And you stick it out
                          E
Without sticking out your hand
D                     A
Getting by on getting by
              E*
It ain't no joke, no
G                                                A
We got a name for things 'round here that don't work

[Verse]
E
If we fell on hard times
G
Well, I'd spend my last dime
A
Makin' sure
                   E
I kept my family fed
E
Yet some old, poor folks will choose
G
To blow it all on booze
A
But half the time it's that fool
                           E
Who ends up with half my check

[Chorus]
E
Too much month at the end of your money
G
Is just a day in the life of a man from the country
A                                                 E
Breaking your back, working your muscles to the bone, bone, bone
E
We don't live off another man's dollar
G
Just sweat and red dirt stained on a blue collar
A
Our nine to five, is a five to nine
E
All day long
D                     A
Getting by on getting by
               E*
It ain't no joke, no
G                                                A
We got a name for things 'round here that don't work

          D                   A                      E
It ain't much of a life if you live that life for free
          D                   A                   E
Sitting around all day never sat quite right with me

[Chorus]
E
Too much month at the end of your money
G
Is just a day in the life of a man from the country
A                                                 E
Breaking your back, working your muscles to the bone, bone, bone
