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 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
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
