(D) It ain't nothin' but a small frame house on an (G) acre (D) lot 
 It ain't that much diff'rent from any other (A7) house on the (D) block 
 And it may not look like we got our (G) share of the pro-(D) mise 
 But at least one thing's for (A7) sure, I GOT IT (D) HONEST. 
  
 Roll out of the sack ev'ry mornin', head on down to the mill 
 Give 'em all I got for eight, 'cause that's the deal 
 If you'll check out my paycheck 
    Well, you'll see that there ain't that much on it 
 But ev'ry single penny I'm paid, I GOT IT HONEST. 
  
 I (G) never had to hang my head in shame 
    For (D) puttin' a price tag on my name 
 (G) Never turned back on what I believe 
    Or (E) let my heart be ruled by (A7) greed 
 'Cause (D) buddy if I didn't (G) earn it, I don't (D) want it 
 That way I can always (A7) say, I GOT IT (D) HONEST. 
  
 Now you ain't looking at some dude 
 That was born with a Silver spoon in his mouth 
 And I might seem like some kind of low-life 
 To that high-falutin' crowd 
 But I'm plain spoken, straight talkin' 
 And damn proud of what I have accomplished 
 Some folks appreciate that and some don't 
 But, I GOT IT HONEST. 
   
 CHANGE TO E: 
  
 Now when I die, I may not leave my kids a fortune 
 But I hope they knowed my life stood for things that were important 
 And I'll hand out the same sturdy old values of my daddy and my momma 
 It made me every ounce of what I am and I GOT IT HONEST.
