It ain't nothin' but a small frame house on an acre lot

I never had to hang my head in shame

Now you ain't looking at some dude
G D D4 D
That was born with a Silver spoon in his mouth

And damn proud of what I have accomplished

Now when I die, I may not leave my kids a fortune

But I hope they know my life stood for things that were important
E A E A
And I'll hand out the same sturdy old values of my daddy and my momma

It made me every ounce of what I am and I got it honest.
