Cost Of Livin'

歌詞

Everything to know about me, is written on this page The number you can reach me, my social and my age Yes I served in the army, it's where I learned to shoot Eighteen months in the desert, pourin' sand out of my boots No I've never been convicted of a crime I could start this job at any time I got a strong back, steel toes, I rarely call in sick A good truck, what I don't know, I catch on real quick I work weekends, if I have to, nights and holidays Give you 40, and then some, whatever it takes Three dollars and change at the pump Cost of livin's high and goin' up I put Robert down as a reference, he's known me all my life We attend the same church, he introduced me to my wife Gave my last job everything, before it headed south Took the shoes off of my children's feet, the food out of their mouths Yesterday my folks offered to help But they're barely gettin' by themselves I got a strong back, steel toes, I rarely call in sick A good truck, what I don't know, I catch on real quick I work weekends, if I have to, nights and holidays Give you 40, and then some, whatever it takes Three dollars and change at the pump Cost of livin's high and goin' up I'm sure a hundred others have applied Rumor has it you're only takin' five I got a strong back, steel toes, I'm handy with a wrench There's nothing I can't drive, nothin' I can't fix I work sun-up to sun-down, ain't too proud to sweep the floors Bank has started callin', and the wolves are at my door Three dollars and change at the pump Cost of livin's high, and goin' up
