[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
