I GOT THESE RED, WHITE AND PINK SLIP BLUES
I HIDE THE PICKUP TRUCK, IN RICKY BROWN'S GARAGE
OVER ON THE NEXT BLOCK, CAUSE THERE'S A REPO MAN TO DODGE
I SLIP OUT THE BACK DOOR, LORD I NEVER THOUGHT ID LIVE TO SEE THIS DAY
WE'RE GONNA NEED THAT TRUCK, WHEN THEY COME TO TAKE THE HOUSE AWAY
I PAID MY BILLS, I PAID MY DUES
I PAID MY SHARE, OF TAXES TOO
NOW I CAN'T EVEN BUY, MY LITTLE BABY SHOES
I GOT THESE RED, WHITE AND DAMN PINK SLIP BLUES
SOLO
YOU KNOW I LOVE MY COUNTRY, AND IM NOT ONE TO COMPLAIN
BUT THERE'S A LOT OF US WHO FEEL LIKE WE'VE BEEN STRANDED HERE
OUT IN THE RAIN
I PAID MY BILLS, I PAID MY DUES
I PAID MY SHARE, OF TAXES TOO
NOW I CAN'T EVEN BUY, MY KIDS NO SHOES
I GOT THESE RED, WHITE, PINK SLIP BLUES
