It's hard these days to get ahead
Making minimum wage with mouths to be fed
So before I start my family
I'll work hard to see I've all the means we'd need
It could take me a while but there's no hurry
Yeah, I'll just take it nice and slow no, I'm never gonna worry
My conscience tells me the truth is the good Lord knows
I'm thankful he's there everywhere I go
I've been telling this to myself for two years now going on three
And still here I am chasing that ol' big money
CHORUS:
'Cause I won't let down my wife and kids
I'll make them so proud that I'm the good man they're with
And I'll always remind them that Jesus loves us all
Yeah, I'll work hard to see I've all the means we'd need
Then when I retire I'll look back on my life
And tell my grandchildren tales of how His bright burning light
Always safely led me through the hard times
And when my time finally comes and I die
I'll feel comfort in knowing the work I did to help my family stay alive
I won't let down my wife and kids
I'll make them so proud that I'm the good man they're with
And I'll always remind them that Jesus loves us all
Yeah, I'll work hard to see I've all the means we'd need
I'll work hard to see I've all the means we'd need
I'll work hard to see I've all the means we'd need
