Take This Job And Shove It Lyrics - The Illustrated David Allan Coe: 4 Classic Albums 1977-1979 - David Allan Coe

Take this job and shove it 

I ain't workin' here no more 

My woman done left and took all of the reasons 

That I was workin' for 

You better not try to stand in my way 

When I'm walkin' out the door 

Take this job and shove it 

I ain't workin' here no more 

I've been working in this factory 

Pretty close to fifteen years 

I've seen some of my best friends women 

Standin' in a pool of tears 

I've seen a lot of kinfolks dyin' 

I had a lot of bills to pay 

Lord, I'd give the shirt right often my back 

If I had the guts to say 

Take this job and shove it 

I ain't workin' here no more 

My woman's done left and took all of the reasons 

That I was workin' for 

You better not try to stand in my way 

When I'm walkin' out the door 

Take this job and shove it 

I ain't workin' here no more 

The foreman is a regular S.O.B. 

And the night boss, he's a fool 

He got himself a brand new flattop haircut 

Lord, he really thinks that's cool 

One of these days I'm gonna blow my top 

And he's gonna be here to pay it 

I can't wait to see their faces 

When I get the nerve to say 

Take this job and shove it 

I ain't workin' here no more 

My woman done left and took all of the reasons 

That I was workin' for 

You better not try to stand in my way 

When I'm walkin' out the door 

Take this job and shove it 

I ain't workin' here no more 

Take this job and shove it
