Lemon Drop

[00:06.61] My muffler's tied on with a guitar string
[00:10.05] I owe 7, 000 dollars to a bank machine
[00:13.55] Before this car is ever really mine
[00:19.73] And some fine day I'll drive her downtown
[00:23.08] Get a burger, fries and a royal crown
[00:25.94] Thankin' God that I'll never
[00:27.89] Have to pay another dime
[00:32.32] My life is like a lemondrop
[00:35.55] I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part
[00:38.98] I know there are better days ahead
[00:44.95] I got dirty shirts and worn out jeans
[00:48.03] I owe two dozen quarters to a washin' machine
[00:51.43] Before these clothes will ever really shine
[00:57.68] But I got me a man, that just don't care
[01:00.85] If his little darlins got underware
[01:04.25] I know someday I'm gonna be his wife
[01:09.97] My life is like a lemondrop
[01:13.43] I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part
[01:17.11] I know there are better days ahead
[01:22.81] I got thrift store curtains in the windows of my home
[01:26.34] I'm payin' for a house that the landlord owns
[01:29.66] Bought a t.v on a credit card
[01:32.42] It'll take me ten years to pay if off
[01:35.72] But some fine day I'll be drinkin' a beer
[01:38.83] In a big backyard I own free and clear
[01:42.41] All I know, there's better days ahead
[02:00.67] So I'll play my hopes and play my dreams
[02:04.12] Just like two coins in a slot machine
[02:06.93] Sing "Glory, Hallelujah" if everything works out fine
[02:13.33] My life is like a lemondrop
[02:16.58] I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part
[02:20.05] I know there are better days ahead
[02:26.00] Lord I know there are better days ahead
[02:31.95] Thank God
[02:35.29]
