Break Even

Lyrics

[Intro] 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 [Verse 1] Had a hundred dollars put away Set aside for a rainy day The storm did come, the rain leaked in I spent a hundred and fifty to get it fixed again [Chorus] 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 beforе I die [Verse 2] Had thirteen chickens out in the pеn A coyote came and left me ten Lost seven more to the flu One had a heart attack now I'm down to two [Chorus] I take three steps forward and four 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 [Verse 3] I was playing cards a while back Had a good hand or so I thought We laid 'em down, we fanned 'em out I had a flush, he had a full house [Chorus] 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
