Lemon Drop
Capo 5
[Verse]
GMy muffler's tied on with a guitar string
I owe C$7000 to a bank machine
G'Fore this car is ever really Dmine
But Gsome fine day I'll drive her downtown
GeCt a burger and fries and a royal crown
Thankin' GGod that I'll never have to Dpay another diGme
[Chorus]
My Clife is like a lemon drop
GI'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part
DI know there are better days Gahead
[Verse]
GI got dirty shirts and worn out jeans
CI owe two dozen quarters to a washing machine
G'Fore these clothes'll ever reallDy shine
GBut I got me a man who just don't care
CIf his little darlin's got underwear
GI know someday I'm gDonna be his wifeG  
[Chorus]
My Clife is like a lemon drop
GI'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part
DI know there are better days Gahead
[Verse]
DI got thrift store curtains in the windows of my home
GI'm payin' for a house that the landlord owns
DBought a TV on a credit card
GIt'll take me ten years to pay it off
CBut some fine day I'll be drinkin' a beer
GIn a big backyard I own free and clear
DOh I know there's better days ahGead
GSo I'll play my hopes and play my dreams
CJust like two coins in a slot machine
GSayin' glory hallelujah Dif everything works out fineG  
[Chorus]
My Clife is like a lemon drop
GI'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part
DI know there are better days Gahead
DLord I know there's better days aheaGd
Thank God
