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

        Am                                         F                                Am     F

      The mill was hummin' twenty-four seven,         I was formin' on the line, three to eleven,


       Am                                         F                                Am      F       G

      But eighteen months, two days ago,                  The Mill closed down and moved to Mexico

CHORUS:

Am                     F
I payed my bills, I payed my dues
Am                  F           G
I payed my share of taxes too
Am                    F
Now I cant buy my baby shoes
Am               F              G
I've got the red, white, and pink-slip blues

Solo
Am   F

I hide the pickup truck in Ricky Browns garage, Over on the next block, cause 
there's Repo's to dodge 


      Am                                         F                           Am        F       G

I slip out the back door, Lord, I never thought Id live to see this day, we're 
gonna need that truck when they come to take the house away,

CHORUS 2

Am                     F

Am                  F           G
I payed my share of taxes too
Am                    F
Now I cant buy my little baby shoes
Am               F              G
I've got the 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 out here out in the rain 



Am                     F
I payed my bills, I payed my dues
Am                  F           G
I payed my share of taxes too
Am                    F
Now I cant buy my baby shoes
Am               F              G
Ive got the red, white, and pink-slip blues

Is anybody listening?
