| I used to love this town,
|
| and this neighborhood,
|
| the streets were safe,
|
| the schools were good,
|
| the mill was humming 24/7,
|
| I was foreman on the line 3 to 11
|
| but 18 months and 2 days ago
|
| the mill closed down
|
| and moved to Mexico
|
| Chorus
|
| I paid my bills, I paid my dues
|
| and I paid my share of taxes too
|
| now I can’t buy my baby shoes
|
| I got these red, white, & pink slip blues
|
| Verse 2
|
| I hide the pickup truck in Ricky Brown’s garage
|
| (over on the next block)
|
| cause there’s a repo man to dodge
|
| I slip out the back door
|
| Lord I never thought I’d live to see this day
|
| we’re gonna need that truck
|
| when they come to take the house away
|
| Chorus
|
| I paid my bills, I paid my dues
|
| I paid my share of taxes too
|
| now I can’t even buy my little baby shoes
|
| I got these red, white, & damn pink slip blues
|
| Bridge
|
| You know I love my country
|
| and I’m not wandering away
|
| but there’s a lot of us
|
| that feel like we’ve been stranded here out in the rain
|
| Chorus
|
| I paid my bills, I paid my dues
|
| I paid my share of taxes too
|
| now I can’t buy my kids no shoes
|
| I got these red, white, pink slip blues
|
| Is anybody listening
|
| Hey politicians we’re talking to you
|
| (Is anybody listening)
|
| Are you gonna help us pull on through |
