you cant talk to me like that boss
I dont care who you are
if you dont want to have to hang your own dry wall
dont push me too far
boomtown work aint hard to come by
boomtown workers are
you might be the one running the show but
that dont mean youre in charge
I was looking for a job when I found this one
dont need the work like you need the work done
you look like youre under pressure
I was looking for a job when I met you
Im 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 id been in there for my life
so you see, broke wont take much getting used to
neither will a barb wire jail house wall
watch what you say to someone with nothing
its almost like having it all
I was looking for a job when I found this one
dont need the work like you need the work done
you look like youre 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....
