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

Verse 1 

I used to love this town, 

and this neighborhood, 

the streets were safe, 

the schools were good, 

the mill was humming 24/7, 

I was foreman on the line 3 to 11 

but 18 months and 2 days ago 

the mill closed down 

and moved to Mexico 

Chorus 

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

Verse 2 

I hide the pickup truck in Ricky Brown's garage 

(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 

Chorus 

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 got these red, white, & damn pink slip blues 

Bridge 

You know I love my country 

and I'm not wandering away 

but there's a lot of us 

that feel like we've been stranded here out in the rain

Chorus 

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 got these red, white, pink slip blues 

Is anybody listening 

Hey politicians we're talking to you 

(Is anybody listening) 

Are you gonna help us pull on through
