Aaron Tippin - I Got It Honest lyrics

Album: Greatest Hits...& Then Some (1997)

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 & 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 & my momma
It made me every ounce of what I am & 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
