Lyrics
Verse 1
Woke up on a Tuesday with a hole in my boot
The rent man hollered louder than a hound
I chopped a cord of wood just to buy me some soup
And the boss man said boy stick around
I said sir, I'll be gone come the morning blue
Pre-Chorus
Cause a dollar goes a mile when you walk it alone
And a nickel buys a spot for a gamblin' man
Chorus
I ain't got nothing but I got enough
Got a tin roof band and a ragged ol' dog
I ain't got nothing but I got enough
Got a jug I'm a chugging, and a song or two
(Whoo)
Hey hey I'm a rich man walking
(Whoo)
Hey hey with a poor man's pocket
Verse 2
My brother fights n' drinks,
spits gravel and grit
My sister sells tomatoes,
off the back of a truck
The banker down the road,
he don't care how we live
Just as long as he gets,
his dime on time
We're working for a livin',
with a little moonshine
Pre-Chorus
Cause a dollar goes a mile when you walk it alone
And a nickel buys a spot for a gamblin' man
Chorus
I ain't got nothing but I got enough
Got a tin roof band and a ragged ol' dog
I ain't got nothing but I got enough
Got a jug I'm a chugging,
and a song or two
(Whoo)
Hey hey I'm a rich man walking
(Whoo)
Hey hey with a poor man's pocket
Bridge
Sweat on the brow and mud on the shoes
Tired in the bones but the evening is mine
Laughing at the table till the moon goes down
Hallelujah for a hard old time
Chorus
I ain't got nothing but I got enough
Got a tin roof band and a ragged ol' dog
I ain't got nothing but I got enough
Got a jug I'm a chugging,
and a song or two
(Whoo)
Hey hey I'm a rich man walking
(Whoo)
Hey hey with a poor man's pocket
Just a poor man's pocket
Outro
Ain't got nothing
Ain't that something
Yeah
Ain't that enough
