Capo 4


G5
My muffler's tied on with a guitar string
      C5
I owe $7000 to a bank machine
G5                            D5
'Fore this car is ever really mine

    G5
But some fine day I'll drive her downtown
  C5
Get a burger and fries and a royal crown
        D5                        G5
Thankin' God that I'll never have to pay another dime

Chorus: 
  C5
My life is like a lemon drop
G5
I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part
D5                           G5
I know there are better days ahead

G5 
I got dirty shirts and worn out jeans
C5
I owe two dozen quarters to a washing machine
G5                                D5
'Fore these clothes'll ever really shine
G5 
But I got me a man who just don't care
C5
If his little darlin's got underwear
G5                   D5                 G5
I know someday I'm gonna be his wife


Chorus

D5
I got thrift store curtains in the windows of my home
G5
I'm payin' for a house that the landlord owns
D5
Bought a TV on a credit card
G5
It'll take me ten years to pay it off
C5
But some fine day I'll be drinkin' a beer
G5
In a big backyard I own free and clear
D5                               G5
Oh I know there's better days ahead

G5
So I'll play my hopes and play my dreams
C5
Just like two coins in a slot machine
G5                      D5                            G5
Sayin' glory hallelujah if everything works out fine

Chorus

D5                                   G5
Lord I know there's better days ahead 

Thank God
