lyrics

My truck it broke down
Transmission dropped
That son of a bitch
Down at the shop
Told me he needs
Another G outta me
Down the damn drain
Ain't it a shame

I went to school
Like they told me too
Got a real job
But I feel like a fool
Chained to the grave
A slave to the game
Just to get paid
Ain’t it a shame

Chorus
Ain't it a shame
The way they do you these days
Ain’t it a shame
Ain't it a shame

I'm livin' a life
I can't afford
They tell me to work
And work some more
I am a man
I ain't a machine
Money don't grow
On no hill country tree
