Lemon Drop
Capo 3
A
My muffler's tied on with a guitar string
D
I owe $7000 to a bank machine
A E
'Fore this car is ever really mine
A
But some fine day I'll drive her downtown
D
Get a burger and fries and a royal crown
A E
Thankin' God that I'll never have to pay another dime
Chorus:
D
My life is like a lemon drop
A
I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part
E A
I know there are better days ahead
A
I got dirty shirts and worn out jeans
D
I owe two dozen quarters to a washing machine
A E
'Fore these clothes'll ever really shine
A
But I got me a man who just don't care
D
If his little darlin's got underwear
A E A
I know someday I'm gonna be his wife
Chorus
E
I got thrift store curtains in the windows of my home
A
I'm payin' for a house that the landlord owns
E
Bought a TV on a credit card
A
It'll take me ten years to pay it off
D
But some fine day I'll be drinkin' a beer
A
In a big backyard I own free and clear
E A
Oh I know there's better days ahead
A
So I'll play my hopes and play my dreams
D
Just like two coins in a slot machine
A E A
Sayin' glory hallelujah if everything works out fine
Chorus
D
My life is like a lemon drop
A
I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part
E A
Lord I know there are better days ahead
Thank God!
