Alan Jackson - Job Description Lyrics






Well I know sometimes you find it hard
To understand just what we do out here
Well that bus rolls up at home
And I just disappear

And I sure don't like to leave you
Couldn't stand for you to think that I don't care
So I wrote this job description
Just to tell you what I do when I'm not there

I sleep eighty miles an hour
To the whining of a diesel down the interstate
Dreamin' 'bout my little girls
The easy chair that sits beside the fireplace
Then we shut her down in another town
Shower up and do just what we came to do
Sing for the people
Count the money and the miles back home to you

Well each night I take the stage
With a six piece band and a guitar in my hand
Singin' songs about my life
All the good times and the bad

Then we say goodbye and we load it up
And head somewhere I've already been
Then I lay down in that double bed alone
And I thank the Lord again

I sleep eighty miles an hour
To the whining of a diesel down the interstate
Dreamin' 'bout my little girls
The easy chair that sits beside the fireplace
Then we shut her down in another town
Shower up and do just what we came to do
Sing for the people
Count the money and the miles back home to you

Well I just sing for the people
Count the money and the miles back home to you

  47. A.... P....

    Great music.

  48. E.... ....

    Me being a lead guitarist and pedal steel guitarist, I can honestly say, this type of music gets down in my soul!

    E.... ....

    LOL , Thank you

    E.... ....

    Ive always wanted to learn the pedal steel...i play guitar and bass guitar but ive always loved the sound of a crying pedal steel. Its a bucket list item for me..

  49. C.... V....

    lo.mejor

  50. H.... G....

    good memories

  51. J.... M....

    You can always rely on Alan Jackson for real country music. Now days, they just say "back road" somewhere in the song and try to pass it off as country. What's happening when we turn on the country station and it sounds more like hip hop?!?! No steel guitar, no fiddle and not a clue.

    J.... M....

    Bad ass!!!!!!!!! That's all.

    J.... M....

    You can count on anyone in the country genre for real country regardless of the topics they record about

    J.... M....

    Good job Alan.

  52. S.... D....

    good song

  53. J.... C....

    love the paddle still guitar in this song, always having goose bumps I hear it.....................

    J.... C....

    Wow two people were both jerks to him that's funny GET A LIFE IT'S YOUTUBE

    J.... C....

    guitar boogie

    J.... C....

    Beautiful

  54. Z.... 5....

    if not for Alan, George Strait, and Merle Haggard,
    We would not have country music anymore.
    The younger artists are just making the big bucks singing,
    BUT, they are not doing country music,
    they just get played on country stations.
    Thank God for the few true country singers that we do have left.

    Z.... 5....

    +Cecil Seigler Copy that. Most of today's "Country Music" is little more than audio porn. Sad times in country music for this lifetime fan.

  55. M.... M....

    Me en canta la musica d alan jackson me encanta

  56. J.... R....

    Esla major music a de alangason
