"I Might Break Even" lyrics - LEE HAZLEWOOD

My old barn's about to cave in
It'll fall right on the house I'm in
My burial insurance is overdue again
Still I might break even this year

Well I got me a job and I had it made
I worked three weeks but I didn't get paid
Somebody stole my only chicken at late
Still I might break even this year

Well a taxman says he don't mean me no harm
But if I don't pay, they're gonna take my farm
If they do that just as sure as you're born
I might break even this year

A republican's vote fifty cents and a wink
A democrat's vote a dollar and a drink
If I vote for 'em both, I'll do better I think
And I might break even this year
