Cost Of Livin’ Lyrics By Ronnie Dunn

    everything to know about me
    is written on this page
    a number you can reach me
    my social and my age
    yes i served in the army
    it’s where i learned to shoot
    eighteen months in the desert
    pourin’ sand out of my boots

    pre
    no i’ve never been convicted of a crime
    i could start this job at any time

    i got a strong back steel toes rarely call in sick
    a good truck what i don’t know i catch on real quick
    i work weekends if i have to nights and holidays
    give you forty and then some whatever it takes

    post
    three dollars and change at the pump
    cost of livin’s high and goin’ up

    i put robert down as a reference
    he’s known me all my life
    we attend the same church
    he duced 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 they’re barely gettin’ by themselves

    i got a strong back steel toes rarely call in sick
    a good truck what i don’t know i catch on real quick
    i work weekends if i have to nights and holidays
    give you forty and then some whatever it takes

    post
    three dollars and change at the pump
    cost of livin’s 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 nothin’ i can’t drive nothin’ i can’t fix
    i work sunup to sundown
    ain’t too proud to sweep the floors
    bank has started callin’
    and the wolves are at my door
    three dollars and change at the pump
    cost of livin’s high and goin’ up
