[Verse 1]

I was born the country, raised in the town

My daddy was a drunk, never was around

I bide my time and I rattle my cage

And it ain't easy, baby

It ain't easy, baby

Tryin' to make a living on minimum wage

[Verse 2]

[?], quarter to 3

A skinny pole-dancer was laughin' at me

She said, "Hey man, you can kiss my ass"

It ain't easy, baby

It ain't easy, baby

Tryin' to make a living on minimum wage

[Chorus]

When you receive it

You can't conceive it

Can you believe it?

Where'd all the money go?

Oh, I just don't know

[Verse 3]

Well, we hit the liquor store around midnight

Ridin' 'round high with 99

Ridin' shotgun with a 12-gauge

It ain't easy, baby

It ain't easy, baby

Tryin' to make a living on minimum wage

Tryin' to make a living on minimum wage

[Chorus]

When you receive it

You can't conceive it

Can you believe it?

Where'd all the money go?

Oh, I just don't know
