[00:01.01] Ronnie Dunn - Cost Of Livin'
[00:02.38]
[00:05.71]
[00:13.11] Everything to know about me
[00:16.59] Is written on this page
[00:20.01] The number you can reach me
[00:23.23] My social and my age
[00:26.30] Yes I served in the army
[00:29.54] It's where I learned to shoot
[00:32.84] Eighteen months in the desert
[00:36.12] Pourin' sand out of my boots
[00:39.12] No I've never been convicted of a crime
[00:46.12] I could start this job at any time.
[00:50.26]
[00:51.91] I got a strong back
[00:53.98] Steel toes
[00:55.80] I rarely call in sick
[00:58.71] A good truck
[01:00.19] What I don't know
[01:01.99] I catch on real quick
[01:04.81] I work weekends
[01:06.61] If I have to
[01:08.27] Nights and holidays
[01:11.41] Give you 40
[01:13.38] And then some
[01:15.14] Whatever it takes
[01:18.01] Three dollars and change at the pump
[01:24.61] Cost of livin's high and goin' up.
[01:30.84]
[01:40.77] I put Robert down as a reference
[01:44.48] He's known me all my life
[01:47.86] We attend the same church
[01:50.56] He introduced me to my wife
[01:54.12] Gave my last job everything
[01:57.47] Before it headed south
[02:00.42] Took the shoes off of my children's feet
[02:04.00] The food out of their mouths
[02:06.52] Yesterday my folks offered to help
[02:13.53] But they're barely getting by themselves
[02:17.69]
[02:19.44] I got a strong back
[02:21.50] Steel toes
[02:23.23] I rarely call in sick
[02:26.38] A good truck
[02:27.82] What I don't know
[02:29.45] I catch on real quick
[02:32.40] I work weekends
[02:34.43] If I have to
[02:36.34] Nights and holidays
[02:39.10] Give you 40
[02:40.94] And then some
[02:42.93] Whatever it takes
[02:45.69] Three dollars and change at the pump
[02:52.49] Cost of livin's high and goin' up.
[02:56.75]
[02:58.72] I'm sure a hundred others have applied
[03:05.64] Rumor has it you're only takin' five
[03:09.68]
[03:11.14] I got a strong back
[03:13.40] Steel toes
[03:15.37] I'm handy with a wrench
[03:18.43] There's nothing I can't drive
[03:21.79] Nothing I can't fix
[03:24.27] I work sun-up to sun-down
[03:27.67] Ain't too proud to sweep the floors
[03:31.60] Bank has started calling
[03:34.27] And the wolves are at my door
[03:37.56] Three dollars and change at the pump
[03:43.92] Cost of livin's high and goin' up.
[03:51.47]
