But they're (A) gonna be real surprised

With a wife and two kids and a worried mind 
About (A) how he's gonna pay the bills

To the (E) man that brought wood in the winter
To take a little (A) weight off his shoulders

But (E) what he needs can't be bought it (A) has to be found
 
His (D) rich kids think that they're (G) better 'cause they're better (D) off
That's how they grew up thinkin' and now

And (A) stand in line
