C                  G 
Looking back at my hard luck days 
  F                 C 
I really do have to laugh 
C                     G 
Working in a dive for twenty six dollars 
F                  G 
Spending it all on grass 
 
F              C 
We were hungry hard luck heros 
F                   G  
Trying just to stay alive 
F                   C 
We'd go down to the corner drug 
D                   G 
This is how we'd survive 
   

C Who's going to steal the peanut butter? F C I'll get a can of sardines C Running up and down the aisle of the mini mart F G Sticking food in our jeans F C We never took more than we could eat F G There was plenty left on the rack F C We all swore if we ever got rich G C We would pay the mini mart back F C F C Yes sir! Yes sir! G C 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)
