[D]
Sometimes I wonder where my next dollar gonna come from
Keep my head up in the sun when it falls out of the sky
Daddy taught me how to use [G] my [D] bootstraps and carry on
He said [F] it's gotta be good to [C] use some if [Dm] you [G]
try
[Dm] [D]
All the sound comes around getting [G] both ends [D] in your pocket
People out [G] there just barely are [D] getting by
You render unto [G] Caesar no more [D] than you got to
You're [F]
loading your [C] heart to keep your [G] body dry
You do your [D] good in the meantime
While you're waiting [G] on a good [F] time to draw the [D] line
Well you might wanna think [G] about getting yourself [Dm] a shotgun
You [D] might wanna think [G] about growing you a garden [D] bag
You might have to go out [G] and shoot some of [D] your dragon [Dm] horns
[F] Don't ever count [C] your chickens before [G] they hatch
You do your good [D] in the meantime
While you're waiting [G] on a good [F] time to draw the [Am] line
[D]
[G]
[F] [Am] [Dm]
[G]
[F] [Dm]
Well I'm pretty sure [G] that the government ain't [D] gonna save you
The good Lord helps [G] the ones that help [D] themselves
You wanna stand on your own [G] two feet and use [D] your backbone
Don't go [F] crawling on [C] your knees begging [G] for help
You do your good [D] in the meantime
While you're waiting [G] on a good time [F] to draw the [D] line
Yeah, [G] in the meantime, [F] draw the line
