Ronnie Dunn - Cost of Livin [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
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
Pouring sand out of my boots
No, I've never been convicted of a crime
I could start this job at any time

[Chorus]
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
Three dollars and change at the pump
Cost of living's high and going up

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I'm sure a hundred others have applied
Rumor has it you're only taking five

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I work sunup to sundown
Ain't too proud to sweep the floors
Bank has started calling
And the wolves are at my door
Three dollars and change at the pump
Cost of living's high and going up
