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

I used to love this town and this neighborhood

The streets were safe and the schools were good

The mill was hummin' twenty four seven

I was forman on the line three to eleven

But Eighteen months and two days ago

The mill closed down and moved to Mexico

I paid my bills I paid my dues and I paid my share of taxes too

Now I can't buy my baby shoes

I got these red white pink slip blues

I hide the pickup truck in Ricky Brown's garage

Over on the next block 'cos 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

I've 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 paid my bills I paid my dues

I paid my share of taxes too

Now I can't buy my kids no shoes

I've got these red white pink slip blues

Hey politicians we're talkin' to you
