Ronnie Dunn - Cost of Livin' Lyrics

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

It's where I learned to shoot

Eighteen months in the desert

Pourin' sand out of my boots

No I've 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 don't 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

Four 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 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 they're barely getting by themselves
I got a strong back
Steel toes
I 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 40
And then some
Whatever it takes
Four 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 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 livin's high and goin' up.
