"My life is like a lemon drop..."

I know its been a while since last I posted, but the creativity had left me...Well, redistributed. I've been working on my book recently so the creativity has transferred to that. I figured today I would post a song I just LOVE! I'm going to be using this as my battle cry as it were, or my inspiration for life.

Lemon Drop by Pistol Annies

"My mufflers tied on with a guitar string

I owe 7,000 dollars to a bank machine

before this car is ever really mine

And some fine day I'll drive her downtown

Get a burger and fries and a royal crown

Thanking God I'll never 

have to pay another dime

My life is like a lemon drop

I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part

I know there are better days ahead

I got dirty shirts and worn out jeans

I owe two dozen quarters to a washin' machine

Before these clothes will ever really shine

But I got me a man, that just don't care

If his little darlin's got underwear

I know someday I'm gonna be his wife

My life is like a lemon drop 

I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part

I know there are better days ahead

I got thrift store curtains in the windows of my home

I'm payin' for a house that the landlord owns

Bought a T.V. on a credit card 

It'll take me ten years to pay it off

But some fine day I'll be drinkin' a beer

In a big back yard I own free and clear

All I know, there's better days ahead

So I'll play my hopes, and play my dreams

Just like two coins in a slot machine

Sing "Glory, Hallelujah" if everything works out fine

My life is like a lemon drop

I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part

I know there are better days ahead

Lord I know there are better days ahead

Thank God!"
