about

This track should not be taken seriously.

lyrics

Yesterday I started up my truck
I realized that it was stuck
Just like my life (In this truck)
Lost my job three months ago
25 years an' nothing to show
But at least I have my truck

Yeah I'm broke in America
But I can still fix my truck

My truck don't need no handout check
But I could sure use one, heck
I'll tell you, I'm flat out broke
My wife is hungry and so am I
Our kids are hungry and want to cry
But they know'm gonna find a job

Yeah I'm broke in America,
But I can still get a job

Greatest country; God's gift to Earth
Gonna give it all it's worth
Stand on my own two feet (on American soil)
Pray to god my kids will find
Faith will guide them just like mine
To survive

Yeah I'm broke in America,
Gonna work for what is mine

Our kids will grow up big and strong
And lead this country through it all
Look for answers in the sky
God please guide me through this time

Yeah I'm broke in America
But I can still fix my truck
