[Verse 1]

I was born the country, raised in the town

My daddy was a drunk, never wasâaround

Iâ bide my timeâand

I rattle my cage

It ain't easy, baby

Tryin' to make a living on minimum wage

[Verse 2]

Dew Drop Inn quarter to 3

A skinny pole-dancer was laughin' at me

She said, "Hey man,

you can guess my age"

It ain't easy, baby

Tryin' to make a living on minimum wage

You can't conceive it

Where'd all the money go?

Oh, I just don't know

Well, we hit the liquor store around midnight

Ridin' 'round highway 99

I was ridin' shotgun

with a 12-gauge

Tryin' to make a living on minimum wage

[Chorus]

When you receive it

You can't conceive it

Can you believe it?

Where'd all the money go?

Oh, I just don't know
