Pay my respect to the company store |
|
I ain't got no money don't want no more |
|
Pay my respects to the company boys |
|
Now just move along |
|
I worked hard for every little bit I got |
|
And got lucky once on some advice |
|
Met a dark haired girl that the Mississippi moon |
|
Musta left by mistake one night |
|
In a hurry, Lord |
|
And that ain't the hardest part |
|
The hardest part is loving |
|
Somebody that cares for you so much |
|
Promises don't pay cash at the bank |
|
If they did, I'm bidding your word |
|
They couldn't pay me for the time that it took to write a check |
|
To buy a baby doll for my girl |
|
And I worked hard for every little bit I got |
|
The things I got are gonna stay |
|
It's been flooding so hard on this company mines |
|
That you know it's gonna flood someday |
|
You're gonna miss someone |
|
And that ain't the hardest part |
|
The hardest part is loving somebody that cares for you |
|
And that ain't the hardest part |
|
The hardest part is working and I've worked enough |
|
I could stretch that penny like a silver line |
|
Rolling through the pages of my life |
|
Underneath your name where it's underlined |
|
I've been turned around |
|
I've been mystified by a true love |
|
And that ain't the hardest part |
|
Talkin' 'bout a true love |
|
That ain't the hardest part |
|
And that ain't the hardest part |
