Take This Job Lyrics

[Chorus: David Allan Coe]
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 more

[Verse 1: Bird & David Allan Coe]
Well I been workin' on them 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?

[Chorus: David Allan Coe]
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 more

[Verse 2: Tex & David Allan Coe]
I got some greasy old jeans and some holes in my shirt (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 and 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?

[Chorus: David Allan Coe]
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 more

[Bridge: David Allan Coe]
Yeah 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?

[Chorus: David Allan Coe]
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 more

[Outro: David Allan Coe]
Yeah I wish I had a job to shove
