| [00:08.63] |
My muffler's tied on with a guitar string |
| [00:11.14] |
I owe 7,000 dollars to a bank machine |
| [00:14.57] |
Before this car is ever really mine |
| [00:18.26] |
|
| [00:20.64] |
And some fine day I'll drive her downtown |
| [00:23.63] |
Get a burger, fries and a royal crown |
| [00:26.57] |
Thankin' God that I'll never |
| [00:28.32] |
Have to pay another dime |
| [00:30.88] |
|
| [00:33.64] |
My life is like a lemon drop |
| [00:35.89] |
I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part |
| [00:39.95] |
I know there are better days ahead |
| [00:42.39] |
I got dirty shirts and worn out jeans |
| [00:49.01] |
I owe two dozen quarters to a washin' machine |
| [00:52.45] |
Before these clothes will ever really shine |
| [00:56.39] |
|
| [00:58.51] |
But I got me a man, that just don't care |
| [01:01.89] |
If his little darlin's got underware |
| [01:04.89] |
I know someday I'm gonna be his wife |
| [01:07.64] |
|
| [01:11.07] |
My life is like a lemon drop |
| [01:13.95] |
I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part |
| [01:17.76] |
I know there are better days ahead |
| [01:21.39] |
|
| [01:23.70] |
I got thrift store curtains in the windows of my home |
| [01:27.51] |
I'm payin' for a house that the landlord owns |
| [01:30.45] |
Bought a TV on a credit card |
| [01:33.01] |
It'll take me ten years to pay if off |
| [01:36.45] |
But some fine day I'll be drinkin' a beer |
| [01:39.33] |
In a big backyard I own free and clear |
| [01:42.20] |
|
| [01:42.89] |
All I know, there's better days ahead |
| [01:46.57] |
|
| [02:01.45] |
So I play my hopes and play my dreams |
| [02:04.58] |
Just like two coins in a slot machine |
| [02:07.89] |
Sing "Glory, Hallelujah" if everything works out fine |
| [02:11.95] |
|
| [02:14.26] |
My life is like a lemon drop |
| [02:17.20] |
I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part |
| [02:21.08] |
I know there are better days ahead |
| [02:24.89] |
|
| [02:27.20] |
Lord I know there are better days ahead |
| [02:32.58] |
Thank God |
