in the mean time

sometimes i wonder where my next dollar gonna come from

keep my head up and something falls out of the sky

daddy taught me how to use my bootstraps and carry on

he said god will be good to you son if you try

uncle sam comes around getting both hands in your pocket

people out there

just barely are gettin' by

render unto caesar no more than you got to

keep the lord in your heart

and keep your powder dry

but do you good in mean time

while you're waiting on a good time

draw the line

well you might wanna think about getting yourself a shotgun

you might wanna think about growing you a garden patch

you might have to go out and shoot something and drag it home

but don't never count your chickens before they hatch

but do you good in mean time

while you're waiting on a good time

draw the line

i'm pretty sure that the government ain't gonna save you

the good lord helps the ones that help themselves

you wanna stand on your own 2 feet

and use some backbone

don't go crawling on your knees

begging for help

but do you good in mean time

while you're waiting on a good time

draw the line

yeah in the mean time

draw the line
