Red White and Pink Slip Blues Lyrics – Mark Stephen Jones

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
Three to eleven

But eighteen months
And two days ago
The mill closed down
And moved to Mexico

I’ve payed my bills
I’ve payed my dues
And I’ve payed my share of taxes too
Now I can’t buy my baby shoes

I’ve got these red, white, and pink slip blues
I hide the pickup truck
In Ricky Brown’s garage
Over on thе next block

‘Cause therе’s 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

I’ve payed my bills
And I’ve payed my dues
And I’ve payed my share of taxes too
Now I can’t buy my baby shoes

I’ve got these red, white, and pink slip blues
You know I love my country
And I’m not one to complain
But a lot of us feel like we’ve been left stranded here

Out in the rain
I’ve payed my bills
I’ve payed my dues
I’ve payed my share of taxes too

Now I can’t buy my baby shoes
I’ve got these red, white, and pink slip blues
I’ve payed my bills
I’ve payed my dues

And I’ve payed my share of taxes too
Now I can’t buy my little baby shoes
I’ve got these red, white, and pink slip blues
I used to love this town
