INTRO: A B7 E
CHORUS:
Well I [A]mighta been born just poor white trash
But I [E]sold a million records, made a little cash
The [B7]doctors and the lawyers don't think it's funny
That they're [E]livin' next door to white trash with money
[E]I was born on the wrong side of the tracks
I [A]quit school early and I never went back
The [B7]rich kids all looked down on me
They said as good as them was something that I'd never be
Started playin' my guitar to earn a few bucks
Singin' my songs to a roomful of drunks
The record man heard me down at Kitty's Bar
Said come on to Nashville and I'll make you a star
CHORUS
I bought a big house on top of the hill
A brand new Harley and a Coup Deville
The neighbors all cried when I moved in
It seems real estate's cheaper than it's ever been
Now the radio plays all the Railroad songs
I lay around the pool and listen all day long
This country boy's life sure turned out swell
If the neighbors don't like it they can all go to...well
CHORUS
SOLO
CHORUS
Yeah [B7]life's just fine for me and my honey
N/C E
We're happy just bein' white trash with money
[E]Said honey what do ya think about a couple of pink flamingos out in the front yard?
[E]No....
[E]Well, I guess my lawn jockey's out of the question [B7-E]
