LIFE AIN'T FAIR

My ole pickup truck ? 200,000 miles since I picked her up
Drove through thick and thin and places I would?ve been
Had she not broken ? engine smokin?
At times I swear life ain?t fair
My dear shepherd dog ? every time I?d build a fire he?d bring a log
Digging up lost bones, fetching sticks and stones
Man alive I cried ? oh, the night he died
At times I swear life ain?t fair
There?s something in the air that keeps me driving
Along back roads in the valley where I?m surviving
I like beer, sweat and tears and riding my John Deere
I don?t mind ? I?ve paid my share
But at times I swear life ain?t fair
That lady friend of mine ? never crossed my mind she?d draw the line
Not clear what I wronged shooting Jack all night long
She left me ? as far as my eyes can see
My job down at the factory ? trying to net some cash for Uncle Sam and me
But lately times been tough, not making near enough
You see life?s no trip ? living on a pink slip
At times I swear life ain?t fair
Now my truck?s parked in the grass I rarely mow
And my dog, he?s still barking in the ground below
And that lady who used to love it ? and that job, well ? you know
Talking: Somehow it never worked out
There?s something in the air that keeps me driving
Along back roads in the valley where I?m surviving
I like beer, sweat and tears and riding my John Deere
I don?t mind ? I?ve paid my share
I like beer, sweat and tears and riding my John Deere
I don?t mind ? oh, I?ve paid my share
But at times I swear life ain?t fair
My dear shepherd dog ? every time I?d build a fire he?d bring a log
