[Verse 1]
Got a pot belly, it's not too big
Gets in my way when I'm driving my rig
Driving this country in a big old rig
Things I've seen mean a lot
A friend has a pickup, drives his kid to school
Then he takes his wife to beauty school
Now she's doing nails, going get a job
Got a good teacher

[Chorus]
There's a fork in the road ahead
I don't know which way I'm gonna turn
There's a fork in the road ahead

[Verse 2]
Forgot this year to salute the troops
But they're all still there in a fucking war
It's no good, whose idea was that?
I've got hope but you can't eat hope
I'm not done, not giving up
Not cashing in too late

[Chorus]
There's a bailout comin' but it's not for me
It's for all those creeps watching tickers on TV
There's a bailout comin' but it's not for me
