Music Monday: Lemon Drop by Pistol Annies

I figured I should explain more of why my blog is named what it is. When I first heard "Lemon Drop," I was surprised as to how I could relate to it. Life really is like a lemon drop. Life isn't always what we expected it to be, but we keep dreaming and aspiring for it to be bigger and better.

"My muffler's 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, fries and a royal crown 
Thankin' God that I'll never 
Have to pay another dime 

My life is like a lemondrop 
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 darlins got underware 
I know someday I'm gonna be his wife 

My life is like a lemondrop 
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 if off 
But some fine day I'll be drinkin' a beer 
In a big backyard 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 lemondrop 
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"
