Aaron Tippin - I Got It Honest Lyrics
(aaron tippin/bruce burch/marcus franklin johnson)It aint nothin but a small frame house on an acre lotIt aint that much diffrent from any other house on the blockAnd it may not look like we got all our share of the promiseBut at least one things for sure, I got it honestRoll out of the sack every mornin, head on down to the millGive em all I got for eight, cause thats the dealIf youll check out my paycheckWell, youll see that there aint that much on itBut evry single penny Im paid, I got it honestI never had to hang my head in shameFor puttin a price tag on my nameNever turned my back on what I believeOr let my heart be ruled by greedcause buddy if I didnt earn it, I dont want itThat way I can always say, I got it honestNow you aint looking at some dudeThat was born with a silver spoon in his mouthAnd I might seem like some kind of low-lifeTo that high-falutin crowdBut Im plain spoken, straight talkinAnd damn proud of what I have acomplishedSome folks appreciate that and some dontBut, I got it honestNow when I die, I may not leave my kids a fortuneBut I hope they knowd my life stood for things that were importantAnd Ill hand out the same sturdy old values of my daddy and my mommaIt made me every ounce of what I am and I got it honestI never had to hang my head in shameFor puttin a price tag on my nameNever turned my back on what I believeOr let my heart be ruled by greedcause brother if I didnt earn it, I dont want itThat way I can always say, I got it honestFriend there aint no doubt about it, I got it honest
