pay my respects to the company store
                                                             Gadd4
i ain't got no money, don't want no more
                                                
pay my respects to the company boys
                                   Gadd4
and just move along
                                                 
i worked hard for every little bit i got
                                                   Gadd4
i got lucky once on some advice
                                                       
met a dark haired girl at the mississippi moon
             
musta left by mistake one night
        G[1]              Gadd4  G[1] (hold)
in a hurry lord
                                                     
and that ain't the hardest part
   
the hardest part is lovin
                                      [1]  Gadd4 [2]
somebody that cares for you
so much  [back to verse chords]

promises don't pay cash at the bank
if they did i'm bettin your word
you couldn't pay me for the time that it took to write a check
to buy a babydoll for my girl
and I worked hard for every little bit I got
the things I got are gonna stay
and it's been flooding so hard on them company mines
that you know it's gonna flood someday
and you're gonna miss someone

                                                    
and that ain't the hardest part
   
the hardest part is lovin
                                      [1]  Gadd4 [2]
somebody that cares for you
                                                
no that ain't the hardest part

the hardest part is workin'
                                
and i've worked enough

[bridge]
 
                                               
I can stretch that penny like a silver line
rollin through the pages of my life
underneath your name where it's underlined
[guitar drops out]
i've been turned around i been mystified by

                   
true love
                                             [1]  Gadd4 [2]
and that ain't the hardest part
                               
talkin bout true love
oh and that ain't the hardest part

G[1]  Gadd4 G[2] x 4

[outro]
                                                   Gadd4
