| Daddy smokin' them cheap cigars
|
| Ridin' 'round in high mileage cars
|
| We were backyard super stars
|
| 'Til Momma said come on in, supper’s on the table
|
| A two bath and three bedrooms
|
| Yard sale sign with a blue balloon
|
| Cap’n Crunch on a plastic spoon
|
| Has anybody seen them jumper cables
|
| White paint peelin' off the shutters
|
| A little bread to go with your butter
|
| Just one trip every summer
|
| To Grandma’s house or Mickey Mouse if you’re lucky
|
| Right out of a Rockwell picture
|
| Pickin' on my baby sister
|
| Callin' her names, Daddy callin' Mama honey
|
| In the tree, in the yard, growin' middle class money
|
| Educated at the public school
|
| And down at that community pool
|
| Cuttin' grass for a buck or two
|
| 'Til you had enough to buy yourself your newest favorite record
|
| White paint peelin' off the shutters
|
| A little bread to go with your butter
|
| Just one trip every summer
|
| To Grandma’s house or Mickey Mouse if you’re lucky
|
| Right out of a Rockwell picture
|
| Pickin' on my baby sister
|
| Callin' her names, Daddy callin' Mama honey
|
| In the tree, in the yard, growin' middle class money
|
| Birthday parties at the skatin' rink
|
| Slice of pizza and a fountain drink
|
| Guess a million bucks woulda sure been nice
|
| But I’da missed out on a middle class life
|
| White paint peelin' off the shutters
|
| A little bread to go with your butter
|
| And just one trip every summer
|
| To Grandma’s house or Mickey Mouse if you’re lucky
|
| Right out of a Rockwell picture
|
| Pickin' on my baby sister
|
| Callin' her names, Daddy callin' Mama honey
|
| In the tree, in the yard, growin middle class money
|
| Oh, we were so happy
|
| It ain’t even funny
|
| Livin' on that middle class money |
