Take This Job And Shove It Lyrics


Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' forYou better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no moreWell, I've been working in this factory
Pretty close to 15 years
I've seen some of my best friends women
Drownin' in a pool of tearsI've seen a lot of kinfolks dyin'
I had a lot of bills to pay
Lord, I'd give the shirt right often my back
If I had the guts to say, say what?Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman's done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' forYou better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it

I ain't workin' here no moreThe foreman is a regular S.O.B.
And the night boss, he's a fool
He got himself a brand new flattop haircut
Lord, he really thinks that's coolOne of these days I'm gonna blow my top
And that's shockin', he's gonna pay it
Well I can't wait to see their faces
When I get the nerve to say, say what?Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' forYou better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
Take this job and shove it

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

A life-long renegade, singer/songwriter David Allan Coe is one of the most colorful and unpredictable characters in country music history. One of the pioneering artists of the outlaw country movement of the '70s, he hasn't had many big hits — only three of his singles hit the Top Ten — but he has been among the biggest cult figures in country music throughout his career. Born in Akron, OH, Coe first got into trouble with the law at age nine. As a result, he was sent to reform school.
