Break Even

I just wanna break even

I just wanna break even

Don't need to get too far ahead

I've spent my life so far behind

I wanna break even before I die

Had a hundred dollars put away

Set aside for a rainy day

The storm did come and the rain leaked in

Spent a hundred and fifty to get it fixed again

I take two steps forward and three steps back

I just can't seem to stay on track

I get a little ahead and then way behind

I wanna break even before I die

Had thirteen chickens out in the pen

A coyote came and left me ten

Lost seven more to the flu

One had a heart attack now I'm down to two

I take two steps forward and three steps back

I just can't seem to stay on track

I get a little ahead and then way behind

I wanna break even before I die

I was playing cards awhile back

Had a good hand or so I thought

We laid em down and we fanned em out

I had a flush, he had a full house

I take two steps forward and three steps back

I just can't seem to stay on track

I get a little ahead and then way behind

I wanna break even before I die
