Grow a Sense of Humor

Verse 1

I tried to stack it to the ceiling

Like them boys on TV

Shiny boots and borrowed money

Talkin’ ’bout prosperity

But the bills came knockin’ louder

Than the jukebox in this room

Turns out interest grows faster

Than corn in June

Chorus

If ya can’t grow a big bank account

Grow a sense of humor instead

If the wolf’s at the door every month

Offer him coffee and bread

I ain’t rich but I ain’t bitter

That’s a profit I understand

If you can’t grow dollars in the dirt

Grow a laugh like a stubborn man

Verse 2

My truck’s held together

With duct tape and prayer

Got a shoulder that pops

Like a county fair

IRS knows my first name

Doctor does too

But I still wake up smilin’

Like I’ve got nothin’ to lose

Chorus

If ya can’t grow a big bank account

Grow a sense of humor instead

If the wolf’s at the door every month

Offer him coffee and bread

I ain’t rich but I ain’t bitter

That’s a profit I understand

If you can’t grow dollars in the dirt

Grow a laugh like a stubborn man

Bridge (half-spoken outlaw sermon)

Seen men with money

Die mad at the sky

Seen broke old cowboys

Outlive ’em just fine

You can’t deposit pride

You can’t withdraw grace

But you can grin at the devil

To his face

Final Chorus (lift)

If ya can’t grow a big bank account

Grow a story they’ll all repeat

If the world keeps shakin’ you down

Stay stubborn on your feet

I ain’t rich but I ain’t ruined

And that’s wealth where I stand

If you can’t grow dollars in the dirt

Grow a laugh… like a free man
