Todd Snider - Looking For A Job lyrics

rate me

you can't talk to me like that boss I don't care who you are if you don't want to have to hang your own dry wall don't push me too far boomtown work ain't hard to come by boomtown workers are you might be the one running the show but that don't mean you're in charge I was looking for a job when I found this one don't need the work like you need the work done you look like you're under pressure I was looking for a job when I met you I'm sharing a room with two guys over at the motel 6 boss sending every dime I make here home to my ex-wife just did two years and 28 days with a little better aim i'd been in there for my life so you see, broke won't take much getting used to neither will a barb wire jail house wall watch what you say to someone with nothing it's almost like having it all I was looking for a job when I found this one don't need the work like you need the work done you look like you're under pressure I was already looking for a job two weeks ago when I met you, remember? SPOKEN: you know what I really ought to get is a job like you got, chief. you know. driving around checking on guys like me. yelling from the window of a pickup truck with the A/C cranked up and your clothes all nice and clean. yeah...that might be nice...on the other hand....
