[Verse]
C Am Back in the day, back in the hills, we were busted, F G made a livin' on the government dime C Am F G Mama wouldn't keep her job, and the alimony check never came on time C Am F G We were poor, I wasn't proud, only angry that our daddy couldn't send us more C Am F G Always embarrassed by my free lunch card, and food stamps for the grocery store
[Chorus]
C F No keepin' up with the Joneses, no keepin' up with the Joneses C G When you're stuck on the bottom, you take what you can get
You say "ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh"

[Chorus]

You say "ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh"

C Am F G Don't go lookin' down your nose at me neighbor, I could spot you from a yard a- way C Am F G Don't try to judge me by the clothes I'm wearing or the cars in my drive way C Am F G I'm not rich but I'm not poor any longer, and I'm happy as a man could be C Am F G I'm proud to work, I'm proud to pay my taxes, and I'm grateful for my fami- ly
[Chorus]
C F No keepin' up with the Joneses, no keepin' up with the Joneses C G When you come up from the bottom, you love whatever you got
You say "ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh"
