you can't talk to me like that boss

I don't care who you are

if you don't want to have to hang your own dry wall

don't push me too far


boomtown work ain't hard to come by

boomtown workers are

you might be the one running the show but

that don't mean you're in charge


I was looking for a job when I found this one

don't need the work like you need the work done

you look like you're under pressure

I was looking for a job when I met you


I'm sharing a room with two guys over at the motel 6 boss

sending every dime I make here home to my ex-wife

just did two years and 28 days

with a little better aim i'd been in there for my life


so you see, broke won't take much getting used to

neither will a barb wire jail house wall

watch what you say to someone with nothing

it's almost like having it all


I was looking for a job when I found this one

don't need the work like you need the work done

you look like you're under pressure

I was already looking for a job two weeks ago when I met you, remember?


SPOKEN:

you know what I really ought to get is a job like

you got, chief. you know. driving around

checking on guys like me. yelling from the window of

a pickup truck with the A/C cranked up and your clothes all

nice and clean. yeah...that might be nice...on the other hand....
