Capo 4


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

Chorus: 
  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
