Take this job and shove it, I ain't working' 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 ain't working' here no more

I been working in this factory
Pretty close to 15 years
I've some of my best friends' women
Standing in a pool of tears
I've seen a lot of kinfolks dying
I had a lot of bills to pay
Lord, I'd give the shirt right offing' 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 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 ain't working' here no more

The foreman is a regular S.O.B
And the night boss, he's a fool
He got himself a brand new flattop haircut lord, he really thinks that's cool one of these days I'm gonna blow my top and there's gonna be hell to pay
I can't wait to see their faces when I get the nerve to say

Take this job and shove it, I ain't working' 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 ain't working' here no more
