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
Chorus:
     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)
