歌词
My muffler's tied on with a guitar string
消音器在吉他弦上
I owe 7,000 dollars to a bank machine
我还欠着银行7000刀
Before this car is ever really mine
在这辆车真正属于我之前
找天我会开着它出去
And some fine day I'll drive her downtown
买个汉堡、薯条和个手表
Get a burger, fries and a royal crown
感谢上帝我不用
Thankin' God that I'll never
再多花一分钱了
Have to pay another dime
我的生活像柠檬汁一样
会苦尽甘来的
My life is like a lemon drop
我知道好日子会来的
I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part
我只有脏脏的衣服和破旧的牛仔裤
I know there are better days ahead
我还欠着洗衣机器两打硬币
I got dirty shirts and worn out jeans
虽然这些衣服怎么洗都不会光鲜了
I owe two dozen quarters to a washin' machine
但我的男人不怎么在乎
Before these clothes will ever really shine
我有没内衣可穿（双关呢）
我知道有一天我会嫁给他的
But I got me a man, that just don't care
我的生活像柠檬汁一样
If his little darlin's got underware
会苦尽甘来的
I know someday I'm gonna be his wife
我知道好日子会来的
我家的窗帘是在二手店淘来的
My life is like a lemon drop
我在为房东的房子缴费
I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part
用信用卡买了个电视
I know there are better days ahead
要十年才能还清呢
但有一天我会在又大又干净的后院里
I got thrift store curtains in the windows of my home
喝着啤酒
I'm payin' for a house that the landlord owns
我只知道，好日子会来的
Bought a TV on a credit card
所以我将希望看作是，
It'll take me ten years to pay if off
玩老虎机一样
But some fine day I'll be drinkin' a beer
唱着“哈利路亚”，希望会中奖
In a big backyard I own free and clear
我的生活像喝着柠檬汁一样
我只是在喝苦的部分，喝完才能尝到甜味
All I know, there's better days ahead
我知道好日子会来的
我知道好日子会来的
So I play my hopes and play my dreams
感谢上帝
Just like two coins in a slot machine
Sing "Glory, Hallelujah" if everything works out fine
My life is like a lemon drop
I'm suckin' on the bitter to get to the sweet part
I know there are better days ahead
Lord I know there are better days ahead
Thank God
