Middle Class Money

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Daddy smokin' them cheap cigars Ridin' 'round in high mileage cars We were backyard super stars 'Til Momma said come on in, supper's on the table A two bath and three bedrooms Yard sale sign with a blue balloon Cap'n Crunch on a plastic spoon Has anybody seen them jumper cables [Chorus] White paint peelin' off the shutters A little bread to go with your butter Just one trip every summer To Grandma's house or Mickey Mouse if you're lucky Right out of a Rockwell picture Pickin' on my baby sister Callin' her names, Daddy callin' Mama honey In the tree, in the yard, growin' middle class money [Verse 2] Educated at the public school And down at that community pool Cuttin' grass for a buck or two 'Til you had enough to buy yourself your newest favorite record [Chorus] White paint peelin' off the shutters A little bread to go with your butter Just one trip every summer To Grandma's house or Mickey Mouse if you're lucky Right out of a Rockwell picture Pickin' on my baby sister Callin' her names, Daddy callin' Mama honey In the tree, in the yard, growin' middle class money [Bridge] Birthday parties at the skatin' rink Slice of pizza and a fountain drink Guess a million bucks woulda sure been nice But I'da missed out on a middle class life [Chorus] White paint peelin' off the shutters A little bread to go with your butter And just one trip every summer To Grandma's house or Mickey Mouse if you're lucky Right out of a Rockwell picture Pickin' on my baby sister Callin' her names, Daddy callin' Mama honey In the tree, in the yard, growin' middle class money [Outro] Oh, we were so happy It ain't even funny Livin' on that middle class money
