Backbone Job

Lyrics

[Chorus] Well I'm not lookin' for an occupation I just wanna go home They're holdin' me a ticket at the Greyhound station I'm still payin' off I never learned to sell folks nothin', I wasn't raised to steal or rob I'm lookin' for a backbone job Well I can pick and shovel, I can hang drywall Swing a nine pound hammer, pull a cross-cut saw A post-hole digger or barbwire strand I don't mind work but I'm a backbone man [Verse 3] I'm not dumb but I ain't been to college, I never got the first degree And now-a-days everybody's makin' a livin' tappin' on a TV screen Now I'm not down on a man's white collar, I don't mean to be a snob I'm just a-lookin' for a backbone job [Chorus] Well I can pick and shovel, I can hang drywall Swing a nine pound hammer, pull a cross-cut saw A post-hole digger or barbwire strand I don't mind work but I'm a backbone man Well I'm not lookin' for an occupation I just wanna go home They're holdin' me a ticket at the Greyhound station I'm still payin' off I never learned to sell folks nothin', I wasn't raised to steal or rob I'm lookin' for a backbone job [Post-Chorus] Just lookin' for a backbone job Yeah I'm lookin' for a backbone job
