Best of Times

Grandma standing in the welfare line

Mamma and daddy working overtime

Bills to pay and mouths to feed

Pullin both ends to make 'em meet

Summer sweat on my red bandana

Friday night in Texarkana

Playing every dive to the Mississippi line

My hammer is a Stratocaster

This old van won’t go no faster

Sometimes we make dollars, we make dimes

Making the best of the worst of times

It rains too much or not at all

You build it up just to watch it fall

Work and work and work some more

Living on credit at the grocery store

And the repo man's knocking at your door

Summer sweat on my red bandana

Friday night in Texarkana

Playing every dive to the Mississippi line

My hammer is a Stratocaster

This old van won’t go no faster

Sometimes we make dollars, we make dimes

Making the best of the worst of times
