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