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 --- If You Can't Help Your Own - Hank Williams III
