[Verse 1: Angaleena Presley]
My muffler's tied on with a guitar string
I owe seven thousand dollars to a bank machine
Before this car is ever really mine
And some fine day I'll drive her downtown
Get a burger, fries and a Royal Crown
Thanking God that I'll never have to pay another dime

[Chorus: Angaleena Presley, Miranda Lambert, & Ashley Monroe]
My life is like a lemon drop
I'm sucking on the bitter to get to the sweet part
I know there are better days ahead

[Verse 2]
[Angaleena:]
I got dirty shirts and worn-out jeans
I owe two dozen quarters to a washing machine
Before these clothes will ever really shine
But I got me a man, that just don't care
[Angaleena, Miranda & Ashley]
If his little darling's got underwear
[Angaleena]
I know someday I'm gonna be his wife

[Chorus: Angaleena Presley, Miranda Lambert, & Ashley Monroe]
My life is like a lemon drop
I'm sucking on the bitter to get to the sweet part
I know there are better days ahead
[Verse 3]
[Angaleena:]
I got thrift store curtains in the windows of my home
[Angaleena, Miranda & Ashley:]
I'm paying for a house that the landlord owns
[Angaleena:]
Bought a TV on a credit card, it'll take me ten years to
[Angaleena, Miranda & Ashley:]
Pay it off
But some fine day I'll be drinking a beer
In a big backyard I own free and clear
All I know, there's better days ahead
[Angaleena:]
[Spoken] Whistle it, Randi
[Miranda] (whistling)

[Bridge: Angaleena, Miranda & Ashley]
So I play my hopes and play my dreams
Just like two coins in a slot machine
Sing "Glory, Hallelujah" if everything works out fine

[Chorus: Angaleena Presley, Miranda Lambert, & Ashley Monroe]
My life is like a lemon drop
I'm sucking on the bitter to get to the sweet part
I know there are better days ahead
[Tag]
[Angaleena:]
Lord I know there are better days ahead
[Angaleena, Miranda & Ashley]
[Spoken] Thank God
