I quit my job today!! I gave them two weeks but I'm not sure if they will have me stick around that long. I guess I'll find out on Monday.

Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left and took all the reasons
I was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
As im a walking out the door.
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more

Ive been workin in this factory
From now on fifteen years
All this time I watched my woman
Drowning in a pool of tears
And Ive seen a lot of good folk die
Who had a lot of bills to pay
I'd give the shirt right off of my back
If I had the nerve to say

Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left and took all the reasons
I was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
As im a walking out the door.
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more

Well that foreman, hes a regular dog
The line boss, hes a fool
Got a brand new flat-top haircut
Lord, he thinks hes cool
One of these days, Im gonna blow my top
And that sucker, hes gonna pay
Lord I cant wait to see their faces
When I get up the nerve to say

Good Luck. Hope You have a Job lined up.

Most Companys when You give Notice, just tell You to Go!

Must not have been anyone there in power to tell You hit the bricks!

GULP...I am about to go in and give notice tomorrow.

I was offered a FABULOUS opportunity at the Des Moines Register...you know the kind you need to have your head examined if you turn it down.

Now I have to go break the heart of the guys I work with tomorrow. The job I have is BORING...the pay is ok, but the people (with only a couple exceptions) are WONDERFUL!!!!

(sigh)...

Did it hurt?

Yep. David Allen Coe appears on the recording.

LightBulb · #10 10-02-2005, 10:33 PM

(Hmm, it appears Coe recorded this a year before Johnny, though I'm not familiar with his version.)

Good luck Winnie and Sage!

Interesting, because it was on the Coe website that it listed his recordings and then listed those in which he appeared. Take This Job and Shove It was on the latter.

ETA: Okay everyone was sorta right. David Allen Coe wrote the song, PayCheck to recorded it. It then appears that Coe played on the recording.

I quit the airline a few weeks ago and I'm loving this vacation.

I've had interviews already, but none of the companies really interested me after the interview.

I love it when I find out there's a south shore swell in the morning and I can just grab my board and go...and not get pissed off that I have to go to work.

Add me to the unemployed list!
