Pistol Annies - Lemon Drop lyrics

rate me

"My muffler's tied on with a guitar string

I owe 7, 000 dollars to a bank machine

Before this car is ever really mine

And some fine day I'll drive her downtown

Get a burger, fries and a royal crown

Thankin' God that I'll never

Have to pay another dime

My life is like a lemondrop

I'm suckin' 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 washin' machine

Before these clothes will ever really shine

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

If his little darlins got underware

I know someday I'm gonna be his wife

My life is like a lemondrop

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 payin' for a house that the landlord owns

Bought a t.v on a credit card

It'll take me ten years to pay if off

But some fine day I'll be drinkin' a beer

In a big backyard I own free and clear

All I know, there's better days ahead

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 lemondrop

I'm suckin' 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"
