If You Can't Help Your Own

I was raised by myself down in Arkansas
 My family had some rich folks' but they'd never call
 If they wanna be that way, well that's fine with me
 'Cause I ain't got a thing to say to a man filled with greed
 Well, if you can't even help your own
 Well, my friend one day you're gonna be all alone
 Well, I'm real down to earth and I know just how it hurts
 To be in a bind, just tryin' to stay alive
 Well, I can drink and I can cuss and I can be pretty doggone tough
 I like to stay up all night just to see that big sun rise and light up my life
 You better keep your eyes on what's goin' on
 With the government today 'cause there doin' us wrong
 They took the farm away from my poor grand dad
 And I never will forgive them for doin' that
 Well, if you can't even help your own
 Well, my friend one day you're gonna be all alone
 Well, if you can't even help your own
 Well, my friend one day you're gonna be all alone
