Red, White & Pink Slip Blues Lyrics

by Hank Williams Jr.

I used to love this town and this neighborhood
The streets were safe, the schools were good
The mill was hummin' twenty-four seven
I was formin' on the line, three to eleven
But eighteen months, two days ago
The Mill closed down and moved to Mexico

Chorus
I payed my bills, I payed my dues
I payed my share of taxes too
Now I cant buy my baby shoes
Ive got the red, white, pink-slip blues

I hide the pickup truck in Ricky Browns garage
Over on the next block, cause there's Repo's to dodge
I slip out the back door Lord, I never thought Id live to see this day
Where gonna need that truck when they come to take the house away

Chorus
I payed my bills, I payed my dues
I Payed my share of taxes too
Now i cant buy my little baby shoes
Ive got the red, White, damn pink slip blues

You know I love my country and I'm not one to complain
But there's a lot of us that feel like we've been left out here
Out in the rain

I payed my bills, I payed my dues
I payed my share of taxes too
Now I cant buy my kids no shoes
Ive got the red, white,pink-slip blues

Is any body Listen
Hey Politicians we're talkin to you
are you gonna help us pull on through
or leave us standin in the rain
