Rodney Crowell - Diamonds & Dirt

I've Got My Pride But I Got To Feed The Kids - previously unreleased

If I can only find a job to know that I bring back baby's smile again
And make her feel quite proud to be my wife
But for every job, there's ten good men
They only want to work again, and they're sick and tired of just barely getting by

Well, I've got to find a job today 'cause I got all those bills to pay
Sometimes I drink to keep my headaches in
You know, standing in some welfare line ain't ever been no way a man
I've got my pride, but I've got to feed the kids

Sometimes I think those better days ain't ever gonna look my way
Seems the more I wait, the more I waste my time
All the weeks turn into years so fast
Found out living in my past is the only way to keep my hopes alive

Well I've got to find a job, so now I know what it feels like now
The face today that put me on the scale
Well I'll throw my unemployment check, it keeps the landlord off my back
I've got my pride, but I've got to feed the kids

You know, standing in some welfare line ain't ever been no way a man
I've got my pride, but I've got to feed the kids
