DO SOL
Looking back at my hard luck days
FA DO
I really do have to laugh
DO SOL
Working in a dive for twenty six dollars
FA SOL
Spending it all on grass
FA DO
We were hungry hard luck heros
FA SOL
Trying just to stay alive
FA DO
We'd go down to the corner drug
RE SOL
This is how we'd survive
Chorus
DO
Who's going to steal the peanut butter?
FA DO
I'll get a can of sardines
DO
Running up and down the aisle of the mini mart
FA SOL
Sticking food in our jeans
FA DO
We never took more than we could eat
FA SOL
There was plenty left on the rack
FA DO
We all swore if we ever got rich
SOL DO
We would pay the mini mart back
FA DO FA DO
Yes sir! Yes sir!
SOL DO
We would pay the mini mart back
It was a two man operation
Had it all down on a note
Ricky would watch that big round mirror
And I'd fill up my coat
Then we'd head for the checkout aisle
With a lemon and a bottle of beer
Into to the car, got to make it on home
Supper time's gettin' near
(Repeat chorus)
I guess every good picker has had some hard times
I sure had my share
It's really kind of funny to laugh at it now
But I don't want to go back there
So every now and then when I'm in the grocery
I take a little but not much
You never know when those hard times will hit you
And I don't want to lose my touch
(Repeat chorus)
