JIM CROCE - Workin' At The Carwash Blues lyrics

rate me

Well I had just got out from the county prison

Doin' 90 days for non-support

Tried to find me an executive position

But no matter how smooth I talked

They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was genius

The man said, "We got all that we can use."

Now I got them

Steadily depressin', low down mind-messin'

Workin' at the carwash blues.

Well I should be sittin' in an air conditioned

office with a swivel chair

Talkin' some trash to the secretary, sayin',

"Hey now mama, come on over here."

Instead I'm stuck here rubbin' these fenders with a rag

And walkin' home in soggy old shoes

With them steadily depressin', low down mind-messin'

Workin' at the carwash blues

You know a man of my ability

He should be smokin' on a big cigar

But till I get myself straight,

I guess I'll just have to wait

In my rubber suit rubbin' these cars.

Well, all I can do is just shake my head

You might not believe that it's true

For working at this indoor Niagara Falls

Is an undiscovered Howard Hughes

So baby, don't 'spect to see me

With no double martini

In any high-brow society news

Cause I got them

Steadily depressin', low down mind-messin'

Workin' at the carwash blues.

So baby, don't 'spect to see me

With no double martini

In any high-brow society news

Cause I got them

Steadily depressin', low down mind-messin'

Workin' at the carwash blues.

Yeah, I got them

Steadily depressin', low down mind-messin'

Workin' at the carwash blues.
