I GOT IT HONEST Recorded by Aaron Tippin Words and music by A. Tippin, B. Burke and M. Johnson
[D] It ain't nothin' but a small frame house on an [G] acre [D] lot It ain't that much diff'rent from any other [A7] house on the [D] block And it may not look like we got our [G] share of the pro-[D] mise But at least one thing's for [A7] sure, I GOT IT [D] HONEST.
Roll out of the sack ev'ry 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 [G] never had to hang my head in shame For [D] puttin' a price tag on my name [G] Never turned back on what I believe Or [E] let my heart be ruled by [A7] greed 'Cause [D] buddy if I didn't [G] earn it, I don't [D] want it That way I can always [A7] say, I GOT IT [D] 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 accomplished Some folks appreciate that and some don't But, I GOT IT HONEST.
CHANGE TO E:
Now when I die, I may not leave my kids a fortune But I hope they knowed my life stood for things that were important And I'll hand out the same sturdy old values of my daddy and my momma It made me every ounce of what I am and I GOT IT HONEST.
