Karaoke Track: I Got It Honest by Aaron Tippin (Monster Hits)

It ain&#39;t nothin&#39;

Buf a small
Frame house
On an acre lot

It ain&#39;t that much different

From any other house

On the block

And it may not
Look like

We&#39;ve got all our share
Of the promise

But at least

One ihing&#39;s for sure
I got it honest

Roll out of 1he sock
Every mornin&#39;

Head on down
To the mill

Give &#39;em all

I&#39;ve got for eight
Cause that&#39;s the deal

If you check out
My paycheck

Well, you&#39;ll see
That there ain&#39;t
That much on it

But every single

Penny I&#39;m paid
I got it honest

I&#39;ve never had to

Ho ng my head

In shame

Never turned my back
On what I believe

Or let my heart
Be ruled by greed

Ca use buddy

If I didn&#39;t earn it
I don&#39;t want it

That way I can

Always say
I got it honest

Now, you ain&#39;t Iookin&#39;
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-falufin&#39; crowd

But I&#39;m plain spoken,
Straight talkin&#39;

And damn proud
Of what I have
Accomplished

Some fol .
Appreciate that,

Some don&#39;t
But I got it honest

Now, when I die

I may not leave
My kids a fortune

But I hope they
Know that my lite stood

For the things
That were important

And I&#39;ll hand down
The same sturdy

Old values

Of my daddy

And my ma ma

It made me every

Ounce of what I am
And I got it honest

I&#39;ve never had to

Ho ng my head

In shame

For puffin&#39; a price

Tag on my name

Never turned my back
On what I believe

Or let my heart
Be ruled by greed

Ca use brother

If I didn&#39;t earn it
I don&#39;t want it

That way

I can always say
I got it honest

Friend there ain&#39;t

No doubt about if
I got it honest
