mark stephen jones - red white and pink slip blues lyrics

[verse 1]
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
three to eleven
but eighteen months
and two days ago
the mill closed down
and moved to mexico

[chorus]
i’ve payed my bills
i’ve payed my dues
and i’ve payed my share of taxes too
now i can’t buy my baby shoes
i’ve got these red, white, and pink slip blues

[verse 2]
i hide the pickup truck
in ricky brown’s garage
over on thе next block
’cause therе’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’ve payed my bills
and i’ve payed my dues
and i’ve payed my share of taxes too
now i can’t buy my baby shoes
i’ve got these red, white, and pink slip blues

[bridge]
you know i love my country
and i’m not one to complain
but a lot of us feel like we’ve been left stranded here
out in the rain

[chorus]
i’ve payed my bills
i’ve payed my dues
i’ve payed my share of taxes too
now i can’t buy my baby shoes
i’ve got these red, white, and pink slip blues

[chorus]
i’ve payed my bills
i’ve payed my dues
and i’ve payed my share of taxes too
now i can’t buy my little baby shoes
i’ve got these red, white, and pink slip blues
[outro]
i used to love this town
