 Em                     D/F#     G
Three dollars and change at the pump

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, / Put the shoes off of my childrens
feet & the food out of their mouths
Em                   D/F#      G
Yesterday, my folks offered to help
Em                         G/
But their barely gettin by themselves.

Nothin I can't drive. Nothin I can't fix

I work sun up to sun down ain't proud to sweep the floor
  G                                 D
The bank has started calling and the wolves are at the  my door
