         D                          G               D    D4  D
It ain't nothin' but a small frame house on an acre lot
    D                             A7                      D    D4 D
It ain't that much diff'rent from any other house on the block
       D                     G                       D    G
And it may not look like we got our share of the promise
        D                     A7               D
But at least one thing's for sure, I got it honest.
 
D                          G                              D    D4 D
Roll out of the sack ev'ry mornin', head on down to the mill
D                       A7                       D    D4  D
Give 'em all I got for eight, 'cause that's the deal
            D
If you'll check out my paycheck
              G                             D     G
Well, you'll see that there ain't that much on it
      D                     A7               D
But ev'ry single penny I'm paid, I got it honest.
 
   G
I never had to hang my head in shame 
    D
For puttin' a price tag on my name
  G
Never turned back on what I believe   
    E                        A
Or let my heart be ruled by greed
        D                 G                 D       G
'Cause buddy if I didn't earn it, I don't  want it
     D                 A7               D   D4 D
That way I can always say, I got it honest.

Now you ain't looking at some dude
          G                               D   D4  D
That was born with a Silver spoon in his mouth
       D                            A7
And I might seem like some kind of low life 
                        D D4  D
To that high-falutin' crowd
          D
But I'm plain spoken, straight talkin'
      G                          D          D4 D
And damn proud of what I have accomplished
       D                        A7                         D   D4 D
Some folks appreciate that and some don't  But, I got it honest.

Now when I die, I may not leave my kids a fortune
       E                       B7                           E
But I hope they know my life stood for things that were important

And I'll hand out the same sturdy old values of my daddy and my momma
    E                            B7                 E
It made me every ounce of what I am and I got it honest.
