Hank Williams Jr. - Red, White & Pink Slip Blues [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I used to love this town and this neighborhood
The streets were safe, the schools were good
The mill was humming twenty-four seven
I was forming on the line, three to eleven
But eighteen months, two days ago
The Mill closed down and moved to Mexico

[Chorus]
I payed my bills
I payed my dues
I payed my share of taxes too
Now I can't buy my baby shoes
Ive got the red, white, pink-slip blues

[Verse 2]
I hide the pickup truck in Ricky Browns garage
Over on the next block, cause there's Repo's to dodge
I slip out the back door Lord, I never thought Id live to see this day
Where going to need that truck when they come to take the house away

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
You know I love my country and I'm not one to complain
But there's a lot of us that feel like we've been left out here
Out in the rain

[Chorus]
