Belongs to me and the bank

I left the service, got a G.I. loan

I got married, bought myself a home

Now I hang around this one horse town

Doin’ the best I can

To be a good ol’ boy


Verse 2, same chords:
Been goin’ nowhere down a one-way track
I can’t believe it ain’t no turnin’ back
I got the wife and kids 
And what would everybody say?
My brother’s standin’ in a welfare line
Well any minute now I might get mine
Meanwhile it’s the IRS and the devil to pay

Chorus

Bridge
D                        E      A
Well I go out here every Friday night
D                            E     A
Spend a little money lookin’ for a fight
D                         E       A
Well it don’t matter if I lose or win
D                                       E
Cause Monday I’m back on the losin’ end again
