Mel Tillis Lyrics for Song: Mr. Dropout
 Lyrics for Album: Great Mel Tillis [Gusto] [1979]
 
 
 
 8555>(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...
