JOB TROUBLE

I worked for a taxi cab company I drove 'em there and I brought 'em back
The fares were so unfair to me That's one thing I couldn't hack
So I went to work in drywall And I picked up on all the slang
I could mud and I could tape But I just couldn't hang

I'm gonna share my blues with you ‘cause misery loves company

I worked as a window washer And I stood out in the rain
I had to let that job go 'cause I couldn't stand the pane
I worked in an orange juice factory Every day from ten 'til eight
But one day I got canned because I couldn't concentrate

I was an icehouse worker but that really was not so hot
And I was a real estate agent but I couldn't sell a lot
I went to work in a tailor shop But that was just sew-sew
And I was a baker's assistant but I couldn't make no dough

I went to work in a shoe store but I couldn't sell a sole
And I was an undertaker Until I wound up in the hole
I was a tobacco farmer But that job went up in smoke
And I dealt stock on Wall Street 'til I was broker than broke

I used to work in a coffeehouse But that was really a grind
And I worked in a book factory Until I got in a bind
I used to be a hangman 'Til I reached the end of my rope
And I was a trim carpenter But I just couldn't cope

I was an electrician But I always stayed too wired
And I was a potter's apprentice 'Til I got fired
Now I'm a guitar player I strum and sing and shout
Things are really pickin' up I hope I don't get strung out

Job Trouble Unemployment let me be
Now I've shared my blues with you Kindly share some green with me
