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
