|
My muffler's tied on with a guitar string |
|
I owe 7,000 dollars to a bank machine |
|
Before this car is ever really mine |
|
And some fine day I'll drive her downtown |
|
Get a burger, fries and a royal crown |
|
Thankin' God that I'll never |
|
Have to pay another dime |
|
My life is like a lemon drop |
|
I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part |
|
I know there are better days ahead |
|
I got dirty shirts and worn out jeans |
|
I owe two dozen quarters to a washin' machine |
|
Before these clothes will ever really shine |
|
But I got me a man, that just don't care |
|
If his little darlin's got underware |
|
I know someday I'm gonna be his wife |
|
My life is like a lemon drop |
|
I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part |
|
I know there are better days ahead |
|
I got thrift store curtains in the windows of my home |
|
I'm payin' for a house that the landlord owns |
|
Bought a TV on a credit card |
|
It'll take me ten years to pay if off |
|
But some fine day I'll be drinkin' a beer |
|
In a big backyard I own free and clear |
|
All I know, there's better days ahead |
|
So I play my hopes and play my dreams |
|
Just like two coins in a slot machine |
|
Sing "Glory, Hallelujah" if everything works out fine |
|
My life is like a lemon drop |
|
I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part |
|
I know there are better days ahead |
|
Lord I know there are better days ahead |
