David Allan Coe - Take This Job And Shove It Lyrics
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' for
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
Well, I've been working in this factory
Pretty close to 15 years
I've seen some of my best friends women
Drownin' in a pool of tears
I've seen a lot of kinfolks dyin'
Lord, I'd give the shirt right often my back
If I had the guts to say, say what?
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman's done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' 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 that's shockin', he's gonna pay it
Well I can't wait to see their faces
When I get the nerve to say, say what?
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
Take this job and shove it

David Allan Coe Take This Job And Shove It Comments
Here's to Walmart Distribution
I wish I had the nerve to say...
Yep just quit my McDonald's job..
I got in trouble a school for playing this song on my phone I have no regrets of it
Just said it today 👏🍻
One Friday before Labor Day I was driving somewhere and listening to the radio. The DJ came on and said: "It's 5 o'clock, the Labor Day weekend has started and, even though this is a rock station, I'm going to play an appropriate song." This was the version he played.
*D.A.C. bigger hillbilly star* ☆
*D.AC.S STILL THE KING FROM OLD SCHOOL WHEN COUNTRY MUSIC WAS REAL* 🙏 🏅 🔫
Never Let A Woman And A Job Mix. Keep The Job.
😎.... dedicated to Rusty......! 😋
Yup I like this song.
I like the way Johnny Paycheck sings it to.
✌😎👍
Your profile pic is absolutely fuckin retarded. Let me guess you also voted for a New York millionaire yankee
I dedicate this song to all my bosses from my first job down to the present day.
Take your rats ass job and shove it up your ass!! venture logistics/transcorr. Screw you and your 12-14 hour nites. All your "unpaid miles" , And all your other no pay scams. I don't need it!!
got a new job today. this is very appropriate!
I put in my 2 weeks last week. Todays 16 hour day for about 50 bucks brought me here. And I'll be listening to this while I clean my truck out.
615thekid hell yeah brother
That's the way it was with the assholes I drove for. I didn't even give em 2 weeks. every week for a year they short me on miles @ .53 cpm. No pay for waiting times. No pay for fueling trucks. That took about 2 hours a week of "my time". They owe me about $5000.00 in stolen wages.Got in my car and "waved goodbye". Goin to apply for "union job". Pay by the hour and OT after 8. Anything else is BS. Good Luck Driver.
I was a subcontractor for Comcast, hell with that ! Now I'm certified water technician. And love my new gig ! But still play this song for everyone at the shop.. for science lmao
God Bless David Allen Coe
I love my job, but I'm gonna play this at our next meeting just too see what my boss does lol
Dead Kennedys!
ain't nothing like this kick ass southern country music
Was stationed on Midway Naval Air Facility. When an officer there got orders to leave the rest of the officers assigned to the command would have a farewell at the O'Club and the departing officer would stand on the bar or a table and sing along as this song was played. It was great. Everyone would join in on the line "Take this job and shove it.." Usually we were all three sheets to the wind.
I hate my job this song is the way I feel about it
Scott Berryhill I walked off the job Thursday fuck that place
*fuckin' job* !!!!! 😠
Haven't listened to this song in 10+ years. As soon as I saw the title I remembered this immediately. Great song.
That's back when Men were Men, & Women loved it. Fuckin' A Dave.
can't help but love David!
the problem is offshoreing and illeagals; "we take your yobs senior!" -from California
They wouldn't be able to if Americans busted their ass nearly half as hard.
Speckeldog FUCK YOU jealous BITCH
Just quit my job as a dish washer, and BLASTED this song from my cars speakers! Zero regrets.
Glad you got out and hope you found something better bud!
Excellent 😎
Sometimes you just need to do what you need to do .... I like the Tarzan analogy though, never let go of one vine before grabbing the next.
Thought you were going to say cell phone speakers.
fuck the usa if they should nuke everyone
working man's athem !
Reminds me of when i told my old boss he sucked donkey balls. Good times.
DAC wrote the song and released it first, then Paycheck recorded it and had the bigger hit with it.
paychecks version is terrible
So... how many folks out there would work this kind of job? PROs: Work from home, part time, up to 20 hours a week. Weekends off. CONs: Though promised $12-$13.50 an hour, you rarely make that. You gross more like $6-9 an hour and salary fluctuates daily. You can only ask for 1 day off a month, forget about 1 or 2 weeks vacation. You get no benefits. Paid monthly, getting paycheck 4-6 weeks after the month worked. Vote thumbs up for "Yes, I want this job!" and thumb downs for "Walk, baby, walk"
Take your job offer and shove it
Wah Hoo, Nice One Colindres!!!
DAC wrote the song and then Jonny Paycheck covered it, but the best version is definitely the one by DAC.
@coywmoore I've done jobs that paid peanuts as well. Too much work for too little pay... Yes, jobs like those probably inspired this song in the first place!
@ggm888 I suspect you're right. Or at least it would be for a lot of us!
@lindenmeadow yeah the best thing to do is to work for yourself
at work now and wanting to tell this place to go get FU*$#%
told um last week
I've had moments when I wanted to say that very same thing! Face it--some jobs stink to high heaven, as do some bosses and coworkers. And there are probably few things worse than being stuck in a job you hate.
To Howard Christian of Yelm, Washington: Take this job and shove it! I ain't workin' here no more you tightwad piece of shit! Been there 5 years, no raise, no benefits, nothing. Fuck you, I'm going back to college and I hope you die in a car fire! *middle finger*
To : Danny Cook of Jackson Mo,
You can "take this job and shove it". YOU know where.
What a coincidence, I'm just about to quit my piece of shit job.
@GREYBOYER1 you can quit but with written resignation, write down the lyrics of this song and give it to the boss before you do something humiliating to the boss :P
