Take this job and shove it
I aint workin here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons i was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
when i walk out the door
Take this job and shove it
i aint workin here no more
I been working in this factory
pretty close to 15 years
Ive some of my best friends women
Standing in a pool of tears
Ive seen a lot of kinfolks dying
i had a lot of bills to pay
Lord, id give the shirt right offin my back
if i had the nerve to say:
Repeat chorus
The foreman is a regular s.o.b. and the night boss, hes a fool
He got himself a brand new flattop haircut
Lord, he really thinks thats cool
One of these days im gonna blow my top
And theres gonna be hell to pay
I cant wait to see their faces when i get the nerve to say
Repeat chorus
Take this job and shove it . . .
That would have been the perfect song for Taylor!!
WELL, I WAS DRUNK THE DAY MY MOM GOT OUT OF PRISON
AND I WENT TO PICK HER UP IN THE RAIN
BUT BEFORE I COULD GET TO THE STATION IN MY PICKUP TRUCK
SHE GOT RUNNED OVER BY A DAMNED OLD TRAIN
AND I’LL HANG AROUND AS LONG AS YOU WILL LET ME
AND I NEVER MINDED STANDIN’ IN THE RAIN
YOU DON’T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLIN’, DARLIN’
YOU NEVER EVEN CALL ME
WELL I WONDER WHY YOU DON’T CALL ME
WHY DON’T YOU EVER CALL ME BY MY NAME
God I wish someone had sung this song.LOL!
