... I ain't got a whole lot of money, but I damn sure got it made.


Chorus:
       G                         D
'Cuz I ain't asking nobody for nothing... if I can get it on my own.
       A                   (see fill)             D
If you don't like the way I'm living, why don't you leave this long haired country boy alone."

       G                         D
'Cuz I ain't asking nobody for nothing... if I can get it on my own.

Solo: - again, this is one guitar, so you have to keep pounding the bass notes to make it sound full like
Travis does. Or, get a second guy to play behind you.
