Title : I Pay the Taxes By Joe F Burgess Jr March 15, 2026 Pre Chorus: I pay the taxes so let me live proud and free Some days this old world don’t make sense to me Chorus: That’s right I’m the guy Pay the tax bill that's sky-high People want to protest and yell If they don't like it, they can go to hell ‘Cause I PAY THE TAXES! Now the neighborhood didn’t like the noise They all said I have too many toys Yah I rev up the Mustang My old truck has a tiny twang But I’m still in my yard and Gettin’ along with me --ain’t that hard Chorus: That’s right I’m the guy Pay the tax bill that's sky-high People want to protest and yell If they don't like it, they can go to hell ‘Cause I PAY THE TAXES! I don’t feel good about where my buck goes I can feel pain in my wallet down to my toes There is a reason the taxman knows my name I get him riled when I call him ...Jesse James! Chorus: That’s right I’m the guy Pay the tax bill that's sky-high People want to protest and yell If they don't like it, they can go to hell ‘Cause I PAY THE TAXES! I do what I want in my own damn yard Not real fancy but it ain't no barnyard! Mess with my things - mess with my place I'm liable to get right up in your face I pay the taxes,--they aren't free-- like you and ME! Chorus: That’s right I’m the guy Pay the tax bill that's sky-high People want to protest and yell If they don't like it, they can go to hell! 2x ‘Cause I PAY THE TAXES! ‘Cause I PAY THE TAXES!
