Lemon Drop

My muffler's tied on with a guitar string

I owe seven thousand dollars to a bank machine

'Fore this car is ever really mine

And some fine day, I'll drive her downtown

Get a burger, 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 sucking 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 washing machine

'Fore these clothes will ever really shine

But I got me a man that just don't care

If his little darlin's got underwear

I know someday I'm gonna be his wife

My life is like a lemon drop

I'm sucking 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 a credit card

It'll take me ten years to pay it off

But some fine day, I'll be drinking a beer

In a big backyard I own, free and clear

All I know, there's better days ahead

Whistle it, Randi

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 sucking on the bitter to get to the sweet part

I know there are better days ahead

Lord, I know there are better days ahead

Thank God
