Lemon Drop 

Capo 3


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

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

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

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


Chorus

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

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

Chorus

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

Thank God!
