Hank Williams Jr. - Red, White & Pink Slip Blues

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 foreman on the line, three to eleven
But eighteen months, two days ago
The mill closed down, and moved to Mexico

I've paid my bills, I've paid my dues
I've paid my share of taxes too
Now I can't buy, my baby shoes
I got these red, white, and pink-slip blues

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

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 baby shoes
I 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 a lot 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 got these red, white, and pink-slip blues
