My muffler's tied on with a guitar string I owe 7,000 dollars to a bank machine, For this car is ever really mine Some fine day I'll drive her downtown Get a burger and fries and a royal crown Thanking 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've got dirty shirts and worn out jeans I owe two dozen quarters to a washing machine, For those clean will ever really shine But I got me a man who just don't care, If his little darlin' is got underwear I know someday I'm going to 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 paying for a house that the landlord owns Bought a Tv on my credit card It'll take me ten years to pay it off Cause some fine day I'll be drinkin' a beer, In a big backyard all free and clear All I know is, there's better days ahead
Whistle it Randy... (whistlin')
So I'll 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
