The song is about a neighbor of him called Bob, who quits his job to enjoy life, He said about him in an interview:
He’s probably about 63 at this point and has worked his ass off his whole life in construction. He just called me up one day saying, “I quit my job! I’m done!” He loves the Grateful D...
[Chorus]
Bob quit his job
Bob quit his job
Did you know that, Bob quit his job today
Bob quit his job
Bob quit his job
Did you know that, Bob quit his job today
[Verse 1]
He was tied
Tied to a noose with a leash
The leash was now all he can feel
I guess it's all part of the deal, the deal
He gets paid, a long list of rules to obey
Sun just came out yesterday
At least around here, that's ok, it's a lay
[Chorus]
Bob quit his job
Bob quit his job
Did you know that, Bob quit his job today
Bob quit his job
Bob quit his job
Did you know that, Bob quit his job today
[Verse 2]
You let go
And when you let go, you give in
And when you give in, you give up
And when you give up, you go out, far out
You get high
And when you go high, you get low
And when you go low, you get high
Grateful that the dead never die, tell his eyes
[Bridge]
Bob, are you waking up
Before the sun comes off
Are you still waking up
BOB!
[Chorus]
Bob quit his job
Bob quit his job
Did you know that, Bob quit his job today
Bob quit his job
Bob quit his job
Did you know that, Bob quit his job today
Bob quit his job
Bob quit his job
Did you know that, Bob quit his job today
Bob quit his job
Bob quit his job
Did you know that, Bob quit his job today
Bob quit his job
Bob quit his job
Did you know that, Bob quit his job today
Bob quit his job
Bob quit his job
Did you know that, Bob quit his job...
[Guitar break]
[Outro]
Bob quit his job
Bob quit his job
Did you know that, Bob quit his job today

My old neighbor Bob was having a tough year. His son came out the closet, which was a heavy thing for him to deal with. He’s probably about 63 at this point and has worked his ass off his whole life in construction. He just called me up one day saying, “I quit my job! I’m done!” He loves the Gratefu...
