Cost Of Living Lyrics - Singles - Ronnie Dunn

Everything to know about me 

Is written on this page 

The number you can reach me 

My social and my age 

Yes I served in the army 

Its where I learned to shoot 

Eighteen months in the desert 

Pourin sand out of my boots 

No Ive never been convicted of a crime 

I could start this job at any time. 

I got a strong back 

Steel toes 

I rarely call in sick 

A good truck 

What I dont know 

I catch on real quick 

I work weekends 

If I have to 

Nights and holidays 

Give you 40 

And then some 

Whatever it takes 

Three dollars and change at the pump 

Cost of livins high and goin up. 

I put Robert down as a reference 

He's known me all my life 

We attend the same church 

He introduced me to my wife 

Gave my last job everything 

Before it headed south 

Took the shoes off of my children's feet 

The food out of their mouths 

Yesterday my folks offered to help 

But theyre barely getting by themselves 

I got a strong back 

Steel toes 

I rarely call in sick 

A good truck 

What I dont know 

I catch on real quick 

I work weekends 

If I have to 

Nights and holidays 

Give you 40 

And then some 

Whatever it takes 

Three dollars and change at the pump 

Cost of livins high and goin up. 

I'm sure a hundred others have applied 

Rumor has it you're only takin' five 

I got a strong back 

Steel toes 

I'm handy with a wrench 

There's nothing I can't drive 

Nothing I can't fix 

I work sun-up to sun-down 

Ain't too proud to sweep the floors 

Bank has started calling 

And the wolves are at my door 

Four dollars and change at the pump 

Cost of livins high and goin up.
