Pink Slip Blues by Hank Williams Jr
I used to love this town And this neighborhood The streets were safe The schools were good The mill was humming Twenty-four seven I was foreman on the line Three to eleven But eighteen months And two days ago The mill closed down And moved to Mexico I've paid my bills I've paid my dues And i've paid my share of taxes too Now i can't buy my babies shoes I've got these Red,White And Pink Slip Blues I hide the pick-up truck In Ricky Brown's garage Over on the next block Cause they're the 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 I've paid my bills I've paid my dues I've paid my share of taxes too Now i can't even buy my little babies shoes I've got these Red,White And damn Pink Slip Blues You know i love my country And i'm not one to complain But there's alot of us that feel like we've been left stranded here Out in the rain I've paid my bills I've paid my dues I've paid my share of taxes too Now i can't buy my kids no shoes I've got these Red,White Pink Slip Blues Is there anybody listening.... Hey politicians we're talking to you Is there anybody listening.... i heard this song on the radio and figured i'd share it |
