Take This Job and Shove It
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left
And took all the reasons I was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
As I'm a-walking out the door
Take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more
I've been working in this factory
For now 15 years
All this time I watched my woman
Drowning in a pool of tears
And I've seen a lot of good folks die
That had a lot of bills to pay
I'd give the shirt right off my back
If I had the guts to say
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left
And took all the reasons I was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
As I'm a-walking out the door
Take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more
Well, the foreman he's a riggity dog
The line boss, he's a fool
He has got a brand-new flattop hair cut
Lord, he thinks he's cool
One of these days, I'm gonna blow my top
And that sucker, he's gonna pay
Lord, I can't wait to see their faces
When I get the nerve to say
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left
And took all the reasons I was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
As I'm a-walking out the door
Take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left
And took all the reasons I was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
As I'm a-walking out the door
Take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more
I've been working in this factory
For now 15 years
All this time I watched my woman
Drowning in a pool of tears
And I've seen a lot of good folks die
That had a lot of bills to pay
I'd give the shirt right off my back
If I had the guts to say
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left
And took all the reasons I was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
As I'm a-walking out the door
Take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more
Well, the foreman he's a riggity dog
The line boss, he's a fool
He has got a brand-new flattop hair cut
Lord, he thinks he's cool
One of these days, I'm gonna blow my top
And that sucker, he's gonna pay
Lord, I can't wait to see their faces
When I get the nerve to say
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left
And took all the reasons I was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
As I'm a-walking out the door
Take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more
Take this job and shove it
