Artist/Band: Mel Tillis
Lyrics for Song: Mr. Dropout
Lyrics for Album: Great Mel Tillis [Gusto] [1979]



(Mel Tillis)



Well, I dropout the school when I was young

I thought living was just all fun

Then I met trouble in every turn

Now I'm one step away from being a bum.



Lord, I tried everything within my power

But I can't make but just a dallar an hour

You can't make a living on that kind of pay

And it hurts my pride to hear all say.



Hey, Mr. Dropout what's that you say

Sorry Mr. Dropout we can't use you today.



Well, I got married bout one year ago

A winter's coming on and the work gets slow

Mary had a baby that got blue eyes

When baby gets hungry baby cries.



Lord, I tried everything within my power

But I can't make but just a dallar an hour

You can't feed a family with that kind of pay

And it hurts my pride to hear all say.



Hey, Mr. Dropout what's that you say

Sorry Mr. Dropout we can't use you today...
