My mother tied on with a gutiar with a string,
i owe seven thousand dollars to a bank machine before
this car is ever really mine,
but some fine day i'll driver downtown get a bugar
a 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 30 shirts and worn out jeans i owe two dozen
quarters to a washer machine before these clothes will
ever really shine, but i got me a man that just don't
care if his little darling'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 payin for a house that the land lord 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 back yard i own free and clear o i know
theres better days ahead

(whistle it randy)
So i play my hopes and play my dreams just like two
coins in a slot machiene, sing glory halleluiah 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 day's ahead
thank god
