Gettin' Rich, Goin' Broke

My aunt needs a new roof, my mama wants a house
My papa wants a blue truck, it's all he talks about
So I'll keep making records to pay these damn dues
'Cause my mama wants a new house and my aunt needs a roof
My sister needs a new dress, my cousin wants party shoes
My grandma needs a new couch, so I'll take her out to choose
So I'll keep making records till my heart turns blue
'Cause my sister needs a new dress and my cousin wants party shoes
Gettin' rich means goin' broke
The more they take, the more there ain't
No pennies in the piggy left for me
Every dollar that I make
Finds its way back home to my family
My uncle can't stop stealing, the sheriff wants a raise
My grandpa needs a new stone to sit upon his grave
So I'll keep making records to pay these damn dues
'Cause my mama needs a new house, my grandma needs a new couch
My uncle needs a bail out or two
'Cause my papa wants a blue truck and my aunt needs a roof
Come on, JR
Gettin' rich means goin' broke
The more they take, the more there ain't
No pennies in the piggy left for me
Every dollar that I make, you bet your ass they're gonna take
Every single cent to my name
Every dollar that I make
Finds its way back home to my family
Yeah, every dollar that I make
Finds its way back home to my family
