I Might Break Even - Lee Hazlewood

My old barn’s about to cave in

It’ll fall right on the house I’m in

My burial insurance is overdue again

Still I might break even this year

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

Still I might break even this year

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

I might break even this year

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

And I might break even this year
