[Intro]
Em

[Verse 1]
    Em             A                          Em
Sometimes I wonder where my next dollar gonna come from
Em                  A                          Em
Keep my head up and something falls out of the sky
Em                            A              Em
Daddy taught me how to use my bootstraps and carry on
        G                   D              A
He said God will be good to you son if you try

[Interlude]
Em

[Verse 2]
      Em                       A                  Em
Uncle Sam comes around getting both hands in your pocket
Em                    A                  Em
People out there just barely are gettin' by
Em          A                       Em
Render unto Caesar no more than you got to
         G                      D                A
Keep the Lord in your heart and keep your powder dry

[Chorus]
                    Em
But do your good in mean time
                          A          G             Em
While you're waiting on a good time, draw the line

[Verse 3]
          Em                      A                  Em
Well, you might wanna think about getting yourself a shotgun
    Em                      A                    Em
You might wanna think about growing you a garden patch
    Em                       A                   Em
You might have to go out and shoot something and drag it home
          G                D                    A
But don't never count your chickens before they hatch

[Chorus]
                    Em
But do your good in mean time
                          A          G             Em
While you're waiting on a good time, draw the line

[Instrumental]
A  G  Em  x2

[Verse 4]
      Em                       A                      Em
Well, I'm pretty sure that the government ain't gonna save you
    Em                  A                  Em
The good lord helps the ones that help themselves
          Em                    A                 Em
You wanna stand on your own two feet and use some backbone
         G                D                 A
Don't go crawling on your knees begging for help

[Chorus]
                    Em
But do your good in mean time
                          A          G             Em
While you're waiting on a good time, draw the line
             A          G             Em
Yeah, in the mean time, draw the line
