Intro: (x2) 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, and two days ago The Mill closed down and moved to Mexico Chorus Ive payed my bills, I payed my dues And Ive payed my share of taxes too Now I cant buy my baby shoes Ive got these red, white, and pink-slip blues I hide the pickup truck in Ricky Browns garage Over on the next block, cause their the Repo man 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 Ive payed my bills, Ive payed my dues Ive Payed my share of taxes too Now I cant even buy my little baby shoes Ive got these red, White, damn pink slip blues (x2) 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 out here Out in the rain Ive payed my bills, Ive payed my dues Ive payed my share of taxes too Now I cant buy my kids no shoes Ive got these 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
