Hard Earned Money - Gretchen Wilson

Where I come from, you’re considered rich

With a pond and a pole and a place to fish

And a shotgun

Ten bucks an hour and a sixty-hour week

Got a put a little back to put a pinch in your cheek

But it’s a job, son

Be glad you got one

A lot of work for little pay

So, we ain’t throwing it away

Spending that hard earned money

Feels something country

If you can’t get a ticket 'cause the cheap seats sold

Parking lot party where the beer’s as cold

And ooh, wow, perfect

And every dollar laid down is worth it

People all around, let me hear you shout

If you know what I’m talking about

Spending that hard earned money

Hard earned money

Two dollars worth of gas and we’re ready to go

Fishtail swerving down a gravel road

For a quarter mile

Cut-off shorts in a swimming hole

Red watermelon that’s ripe and cold

In the sunshine

Now, that’s a good time

We all know that life ain’t free

But we still get off pretty cheap

Spending that hard earned money

Feels something country

If you can’t get a ticket 'cause the cheap seats sold

Your parking lot party where the beer’s as cold

And it’s ooh, wow, perfect

And every dollar laid down is worth it

People all around, let me hear you shout

If you know what I’m talking about, come on

It don’t matter where you’re from

You can still find a little fun

Spending that hard earned money

To feel something country

If you can’t get a ticket 'cause the cheap seats sold

Your parking lot party where the beer’s as cold

And it’s ooh, wow, perfect

And every dollar laid down is worth it

People all around, let me hear you shout

If you know what I’m talking about

Spending that hard earned money

Hard earned money

We’ll be spending that hard earned money

Hard earned money
