Grandma standing in the welfare line
Mama and daddy working overtime
Bills to pay and mouths to feed
Pullin' both ends to make 'em meet
Summer sweat on my red bandana
Friday night in Texarkana
Playing every dive to the Mississippi line
My hammer is a Stratocaster
This old van won't go no faster
Sometimes we make dollars, and we make dimes
Making the best of the worst of times
Yeah
Ow
It rains too much or not at all
You build it up just to watch it fall
Work and work and work some more
Living on credit at the grocery store
And the repo man's knocking at your door
Summer sweat on my red bandana
Friday night in Texarkana
Playing every dive to the Mississippi line
My hammer is a Stratocaster
This old van won't go no faster
Sometimes we make dollars, and we make dimes
Making the best of the worst of times
Yeah, that summer sweat on my red bandana
Friday night in Texarkana
Playing every dive to the Mississippi line
My hammer is a Stratocaster
This old van won't go no faster
Sometimes we make dollars, and we make dimes
Yeah, that summer sweat on my red bandana
Friday night in Texarkana
Playing every dive to the Mississippi line
My hammer is a Stratocaster
This old van won't go no faster
Sometimes we make dollars, and we make dimes
Making the best of the worst of times
Times
