lyrics

It ain’t cheap being poor, and I can’t take anymore
Of the tickets and the taxes and the fees
I work hard for my pay, then they take it away
Like they don’t care I got a family to feed

They cut my shifts at the mill, I fell behind on my bills
And when you’re late they try to charge you more money
They were riding my back, so I just cut ‘em a check
Then the bank charged me a low balance fee

Yeah it ain’t cheap being poor (It ain’t cheap being poor)
No it ain’t cheap being poor (It ain’t cheap being poor)
I work hard for my pay, then they take it away
And they wonder why the hell I’m so poor

I wanna buy in bulk to try to save a few bucks
But I can’t cuz I’m down to my last penny
And my insurance is high on my beat up old ride
Cuz I’m living on the rough side of the city

Yeah it ain’t cheap being poor (It ain’t cheap being poor)
No it ain’t cheap being poor (It ain’t cheap being poor)
I work hard for my pay, then they take it away
And they wonder why the hell I’m so poor
