"Maximum Living On A Minimum Wage" lyrics

My ol' truck needs a starter and it's gaspin' for water
And it keeps runnin' hot and out of time
My wife's home a-waitin' for money to buy the bacon
And I just called her up with my last dime

I keep hopin' for the better, things keep gettin' worse
Inflation's takin' more than I can make
When you can't pay for what you're buyin', it's not really lyin'
It's just maximum livin' on a minimum wage

Maximum livin' on a minimum wage
Ninety dollar bills and thirty dollar days
Lord, it's not that I don't wanna get them bill collectors paid
It's this maximum livin' on a minimum wage

The baby needs some new shoes and they just passed a new rule
That they won't let me have no overtime
They're cuttin' off the power, looks like everything that's ours
Belongs to someone else when we're behind

We keep hopin' for the better, things keep gettin' worse
Inflation's takin' more than we can make
When you can't pay for what you're buyin', it's not really lyin'
It's just maximum livin' on a minumum wage

Maximum livin' on a minimum wage
Ninety dollar bills and thirty dollar days
Lord, it's not that I don't wanna get them bill collectors paid
It's this maximum livin' on a minimum wage

Maximum livin' on a minimum wage
Ninety dollar bills and thirty dollar days
Lord, it's not that I don't wanna get them bill collectors paid
It's this maximum livin' on a minimum wage
