lyrics

Drinking On the Job

Spent the last 8 hours staring at the wall
It just keeps on staring back trying to start a brawl
And I’d be all for it if I thought I’d win
You see it’s made of concrete and I’m just made of sin

I’m drinkin’
Drinking on the job
Thinking bout that woman who up and gone

5 O’clock right on the dime I put the closed sign on the door
I had nowhere to go, no one to see and nothing to live for
My girl she up and left me while I was in the joint
Dude, need I say anymore? I think you get the point.

I’m drinkin’
Drinking on the job
Thinking bout that woman who up and gone

I never knew her name it certainly is a pity
We just cut right to the chase and did the nitty gritty
It wasn’t soon there after that she went and asked for my hand
I just grinned and shook my head sayin’ “I ain’t that kind of man”

I’m drinkin’
Drinking on the job
Thinking bout that woman who up and gone

Well I guess I best be leaving after all its almost ten
And I ain’t been this bad since they sent me to the pen
I spent my life living between the time that was not mine
And wound up here full circle I’ll be back tomorrow at 9

I’m drinkin’
Drinking on the job
Thinking bout that woman who up and gone
Thinking bout that woman who up and gone
