If Ten Percent Is Good Enough For Jesus
Ray Stevens

Now I'd just like to say a few words about taxes


I pay another man to do my taxes

On account of that's just one more deduction I can take

But you know the mailman brought my W-2 this morning

Yeah, and this year they're taking a third of all I make


Now I'm just as patriotic as the next man

And you know I love that red white and blue

So I'm gonna help to pay this rising cost of freedom

But I'll be danged if I'm gonna change my point of view


'Cause every time the bureaucrats run out of money

Congress socks it to the working man

And I don't think it's one bit funny

How they take so much of my money

And do things with it I don't understand


I don't know why they think they've got to squeeze us

But I'll tell you just exactly where I stand

I believe that ten percent is good enough for Jesus

Well, it oughta be enough for Uncle Sam


Now some of these folks that we've been sending off to Congress

Think that all they've got to do is just spend and spend, huh

But you know you can't run a family much less a country


With more money going out than coming in


Yeah, and that old debt just keeps on getting bigger

And we all gonna have to pay so don't you laugh

'Cause pretty soon we might just look down at our paychecks

And figure out that they done started taking half


'Cause every time the bureaucrats run out of money

Congress socks it to the working man

And I don't think it's one bit funny

How they take so much of my money

And do things with it I don't understand


I don't know why they think they've got to squeeze us

But I'll tell you just exactly where I stand

I believe if ten percent is good enough for Jesus

Well, it oughta be enough for Uncle Sam


I said, if ten percent is good enough for Jesus

Well, it oughta be enough

You know times are getting tough

And it oughta be enough for Uncle Sam
