Songtext von If You Can't Help Your Own

I was raised by myself down in Arkansas My family had some rich folks' but they'd never call If they wanna be that way well that's fine with me Cause i ain't got a thing to say to a man filled with greed Well if you can't even help your own, Well my friend your gonna be all alone Well i'm real down to earth, and i know just how it hurts, to be in a bind, just tryin to stay alive Well i can drink and i can cuss And i can be pretty dog-dawn tuff I like to stay up all night just to see that big sun rise, and light-up my life You better keep your eyes on whats goin on With the government today, cause there doin us wrong They took the farm away from my poor grandad And i never will forgive them for doin that Well if you can't even help your own, Well my friend your gonna be all alone Well if you can't even help your own, Well my friend your gonna be all alone
