Sawyer Brown

Sawyer Brown is an American country music band founded in 1981 in Apopka, Florida, by five members of country pop singer Don King's road band: Bobby Randall (guitar) and Jim Scholten (bass guitar), both from Midland, Michigan; Joe Smyth (drums), Gregg "Hobie" Hubbard (keyboards), and Mark Miller (lead vocals). After King retired in 1981, the five members decided to form a band, first choosing the name Savanna before switching to Sawyer Brown, also the name of a road near where they practiced. more »

I got a job, but it ain't nearly enough
A twenty thousand dollar pickup truck
Belongs to me and the bank
And some funny talkin' man from Iran

I left the service, got a G. I. loan
I got married, bought myself a home
Now I hang around this one horse town
And do the best I can

It's gettin' tough, just my luck
I was born in the land of plenty, now there ain't enough
Gettin' cold, I've been told
Well nowadays it just don't pay to be a good ol' boy

Been goin' nowhere down a one-way track
I'd kill to leave it, but ain't no turnin' back
Got a wife for the kids
And what will everyone say

My brother's standin' on a welfare line
And any minute now I might get mine
And meanwhile it's the I. R. S. and the devil to pay

Well, gettin' tough, just my luck
I was born in the land of plenty, now there ain't enough
Gettin' cold, I've been told
Well nowadays it just don't pay to be a good ol' boy

Well, I go out here every Friday night
Spend a little money, lookin' for a fight
And it don't matter if I lose or win
‘Cause Monday I'm back on the losin' end again

Gettin' tough, it's just my luck
I was born in the land of plenty, now there ain't enough
Gettin' cold, I've been told
Well nowadays it just don't pay to be a good ol' boy

Gettin' tough, it's just my luck
I was born in the land of plenty, now there ain't enough
Gettin' cold, I've been told
Well nowadays it just don't pay to be a good ol' boy
