Well, I've been working in this factory
He got himself a brand new flattop haircut
You better not try to stand in my way
When I get the nerve to say, say what?
Well I can't wait to see their faces
When I'm walkin' out the door
And that's shockin', he's gonna pay it
Drownin' in a pool of tears
And the night boss, he's a fool
You better not try to stand in my way
Pretty close to 15 years
My woman's done left and took all of the reasons
I've seen a lot of kinfolks dyin'
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
Lord, he really thinks that's cool
The foreman is a regular S.O.B.
Take this job and shove it
When I'm walkin' out the door
You better not try to stand in my way
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
That I was workin' for
If I had the guts to say, say what?
I've seen some of my best friends women
That I was workin' for
I had a lot of bills to pay
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
Take this job and shove it
One of these days I'm gonna blow my top
I ain't workin' here no more
That I was workin' for
I ain't workin' here no more
Lord, I'd give the shirt right often my back
I ain't workin' here no more
