I got it honest


(aaron tippin/bruce burch/marcus franklin johnson)

It aint nothin but a small frame house on an acre lot
It aint that much diffrent 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 things 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 thats the deal
If youll check out my paycheck
Well, youll see that there aint that much on it
But evry single penny Im 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 didnt earn it, I dont want it
That way I can always say, I got it honest

Now you aint 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 Im plain spoken, straight talkin
And damn proud of what I have acomplished
Some folks appreciate that and some dont
But, I got it honest

Now when I die, I may not leave my kids a fortune
But I hope they knowd my life stood for things that were important
And Ill 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 didnt earn it, I dont want it
That way I can always say, I got it honest
Friend there aint no doubt about it, I got it honest

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
