Текст песни I Got It Honest, Aaron Tippin

It ain t nothin but a small frame house on an acre lot
It ain t that much diff rent from any other house on the block
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

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 ev ry 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 acomplished
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
