[Verse 1:]
My old barn's about to cave in
It'll fall right on the house I'm in
My burial insurance is overdue again

[Chorus:]
Still I might break even this year

[Verse 2:]
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

[Chorus:]
Still I might break even this year

[Verse 3:]
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

[Chorus:]
I might break even this year

[Verse 4:]
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
[Chorus:]
And I might break even this year
