By David Allan Coe
Dedication: To Greg Blackwell, Marshall Leib, Billy Sherrill, Johnny Paycheck and all the people involved in making the motion picture Take this job and shove it.
TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT TOO
WHERE THE SUN DON'T NEVER SHINE
THIS AIN'T THE FIRST JOB I EVER QUIT
AND I KNOW IT WONT BE MY LAST
PAYCHECK, WHO KNOWS AFTER TODAY
YOU MAY BE A THING OF THE PAST
IM SO TIRED OF WORKING LIKE A DOG
THERE'S GOTTA BE A BETTER WAY
BILLS, HELL IF I THOUGHT ABOUT BILLS
ID OF NEVER HAD THE NERVE TO SAY...
THIS OLD BREWERIES BATTEN ME DOWN
ITS THE SAME THING BEER AFTER BEER
FORMAN THAT'S SURE, SOME PROMOTION
THEY SHOULD'VE NAMED ME FOOL OF THE YEAR
I'VE LOST MORE THAN A COUPLE OF FRIENDS
ID OF MUCH RATHER GOTTEN A RAISE
BOSS, HELL I DON'T WANNA BE BOSS
WORKING THESE PEOPLE LIKE SLAVES
By David Allan Coe

20 Greatest Hits (1994)
Take this job and shove it
I aint workin here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons i was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
when i walk out the door
Take this job and shove it
i aint workin here no more
I been working in this factory
pretty close to 15 years
Ive some of my best friends women
Standing in a pool of tears
Ive seen a lot of kinfolks dying
i had a lot of bills to pay
Lord, id give the shirt right offin my back
if i had the nerve to say:
Repeat chorus
The foreman is a regular s.o.b. and the night boss, hes a fool
He got himself a brand new flattop haircut
Lord, he really thinks thats cool
One of these days im gonna blow my top
And theres gonna be hell to pay
I cant wait to see their faces when i get the nerve to say
Repeat chorus
Take this job and shove it . . .
Take this job and shove it
I aint workin here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons i was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
when i walk out the door
Take this job and shove it
i aint workin here no more
I been working in this factory
pretty close to 15 years
Ive some of my best friends women
Standing in a pool of tears
Ive seen a lot of kinfolks dying
i had a lot of bills to pay
Lord, id give the shirt right offin my back
if i had the nerve to say:
Repeat chorus
The foreman is a regular s.o.b. and the night boss, hes a fool
He got himself a brand new flattop haircut
Lord, he really thinks thats cool
One of these days im gonna blow my top
And theres gonna be hell to pay
I cant wait to see their faces when i get the nerve to say
Repeat chorus
Take this job and shove it . . .
