I used to love this town and this neighborhood
2
The streets were safe, the schools were good

The mill was hummin' 24/7
4
I was formin' on the line, 3 to 11

But 18 months and 2 days ago
6
The mill closed down and moved to Mexico
7
I paid my bills, I paid my dues
8
And I paid my share of taxes too
9
Now I can't buy my baby shoes
10
I got these red, white and pink-slip blues
11
I hide the pickup truck in Ricky Brown's garage
12
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

We're gonna need that truck when they come to take the house away

I paid my bills, I paid my dues

I paid my share of taxes too

Now I can't even buy my little baby shoes

Out in the rain
22
I paid my bills, I paid my due

I paid my share of taxes too

Now I can't buy my kids no shoes

I got these red, white and pink-slip blues

Hey politicians, we're talkin' to you

Are you gonna help us pull on through?

(Is anybody listenin'?)
