Lemon Drop

	  		

 


G 
My muffler's tied on with a guitar string 
      C 
I owe $7000 to a bank machine 
G                            D 
'Fore this car is ever really mine 

    G 
But some fine day I'll drive her downtown 
  C 
Get a burger and fries and a royal crown 
        D                        G 
Thankin' God that I'll never have to pay another dime 

 
  C 
My life is like a lemon drop 
G 
I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part 
D                           G 
I know there are better days ahead 


G  
I got dirty shirts and worn out jeans 
C 
I owe two dozen quarters to a washing machine 
G                                D 
'Fore these clothes'll ever really shine 
G  
But I got me a man who just don't care 
C 
If his little darlin's got underwear 
G                   D                 G 
I know someday I'm gonna be his wife 


Chorus 

D 
I got thrift store curtains in the windows of my home 
G 
I'm payin' for a house that the landlord owns 
D 
Bought a TV on a credit card 
G 
It'll take me ten years to pay it off 
C 
But some fine day I'll be drinkin' a beer 
G 
In a big backyard I own free and clear 
D                               G 
Oh I know there's better days ahead 

G 
So I'll play my hopes and play my dreams 
C 
Just like two coins in a slot machine 
G                      D                            G 
Sayin' glory hallelujah if everything works out fine 

Chorus 

D                                   G 
Lord I know there's better days ahead  

Thank God
