Take This Job (feat. David Allan Coe) Lyrics

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 moreWell 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 moreI 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 moreYeah 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 moreYeah I wish I had a job to shove
