Take This Job

Yeah take this job and shove it I'm not workin' here no more Yeah my woman done left and she took all the reasons I was workin' for And you better not try to stand in my way when I'm a-walkin' out the door You can take this job and shove it I'm not workin' here no more Well I been workin' on the rooftops For damn near 15 years And all of this time, I watched my woman drownin' in a port of tears And I've seen a lot of my good friends die They had a lot of bills to pay And I'd give the shirt right off of my back, if I had the guts to say Say what? Yeah take this job and shove it I'm not workin' here no more Yeah my woman done left and she took all the reasons I was workin' for And you better not try to stand in my way when I'm a-walkin' out the door You can take this job and shove it I'm not workin' here no more I got some greasy, old jeans and some holes in my shirt Old beat-up bucket that I'm hopin'll work I'm just a blue-collared guy, baptized in dirt And every day I left late an' always showed up first Got a finger for the foreman, he's an S.O.B. And that line boss still bugs the hell out of me With his brand, new flat top and coffee-stained teeth Here's my damn notice, I ain't givin' two weeks Nah, ain't enough money that'll make me stay I got 'em talkin' to my back, but I'm still walkin' away As a matter of fact, I got this one thing to say You can take, you can shove it, get the hell out the way Say what? Yeah take this job and shove it I'm not workin' here no more Yeah my woman done left and she took all the reasons I was workin' for And you better not try to stand in my way when I'm a-walkin' out the door You can take this job and shove it I'm not workin' here no more Yeah one of these days I'm gonna blow my top And that sucker he's gonna pay I can't wait to see their faces When I get the nerve to say Say what? Now take this job and shove it I'm not workin' here no more Yeah my woman done left and she took all the reasons I was workin' for And you better not try to stand in my way when I'm a-walkin' out the door You can take this job and shove it I'm not workin' here no more Yeah I wish I had a job to shove --- Take This Job - David Allan Coe and Moonshine Bandits
