Lemon Drop
My muffler's tied on with a guitar string
消音器在吉他弦上
I owe 7,000 dollars to a bank machine
我還欠著銀行7000刀
Before this car is ever really mine
在這輛車真正屬於我之前
找天我會開著它出去
And some fine day I'll drive her downtown
買個漢堡、薯條和個手錶
Get a burger, fries and a royal crown
感謝上帝我不用
Thankin' God that I'll never
再多花一分錢了
Have to pay another dime
我的生活像檸檬汁一樣
會苦盡甘來的
My life is like a lemon drop
我知道好日子會來的
I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part
我只有髒髒的衣服和破舊的牛仔褲
I know there are better days ahead
我還欠著洗衣機器兩打硬幣
I got dirty shirts and worn out jeans
雖然這些衣服怎麼洗都不會光鮮了
I owe two dozen quarters to a washin' machine
但我的男人不怎麼在乎
Before these clothes will ever really shine
我有沒內衣可穿（雙關呢）
我知道有一天我會嫁給他的
But I got me a man, that just don't care
我的生活像檸檬汁一樣
If his little darlin's got underware
會苦盡甘來的
I know someday I'm gonna be his wife
我知道好日子會來的
我家的窗簾是在二手店淘來的
My life is like a lemon drop
我在為房東的房子繳費
I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part
用信用卡買了個電視
I know there are better days ahead
要十年才能還清呢
但有一天我會在又大又乾淨的後院裡
I got thrift store curtains in the windows of my home
喝著啤酒
I'm payin' for a house that the landlord owns
我只知道，好日子會來的
Bought a TV on a credit card
所以我將希望看作是，
It'll take me ten years to pay if off
玩老虎機一樣
But some fine day I'll be drinkin' a beer
唱著“哈利路亞”，希望會中獎
In a big backyard I own free and clear
我的生活像喝著檸檬汁一樣
我只是在喝苦的部分，喝完才能嚐到甜味
All I know, there's better days ahead
我知道好日子會來的
我知道好日子會來的
So I play my hopes and play my dreams
感謝上帝
Just like two coins in a slot machine
Sing 'Glory, Hallelujah' if everything works out fine
My life is like a lemon drop
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
