Todd Snider - Looking For A Job Lyrics






You can't talk to me like that boss
I don't care who you are
If you don't want to have to hang your own dry wall
Don't push me too far

Boomtown work ain't hard to come by
Boomtown workers are
You might be the one running the show but
That don't mean you're in charge

I was looking for a job when I found this one
Don't need the work like you need the work done
You look like you're under pressure
I was looking for a job when I met you

I'm sharing a room with two guys over at the motel 6 boss
Sending every dime I make here home to my ex-wife
Just did two years and 28 days
With a little better aim I'd been in there for my life

So you see, broke won't take much getting used to
Neither will a barb wire jail house wall
Watch what you say to someone with nothing
It's almost like having it all

I was looking for a job when I found this one
Don't need the work like you need the work done
You look like you're under pressure
I was already looking for a job two weeks ago when I met you, remember?

You know what I really ought to get is a job like
You got, chief, you know, driving around
Checking on guys like me, yelling from the window of
A pickup truck with the A/C cranked up and your clothes all
Nice and clean, yeah...that might be nice...on the other hand...

  1. m.... ....

    I heard this song for the first time on SiriusXM - Dallas Wayne's show on Outlaw Country channel. Now I"m very confused. The song is fun - a good weekend tune.

  2. A.... S....

    Wish i could get this album on Spotify !

    A.... S....

    It’s on Spotify

  3. M.... D....

    "Watch what you say to someone with nothing, it's almost like having it all." CLASSIC

  4. K.... F....

    I just got a new job, found out today I passed assessment tests. :D Anthem on my search?: TODD SNIDER - LOOKIN' FOR A JOB!! Thanks bud!

  5. S.... S....

    He came and picked me up on March 3, 2017.  It was packed in that van. :)

    S.... S....

    That is so cool!

    S.... S....

    Tell us the Story

  6. J.... M....

    I say "I was looking for a job when I found this one" all the time at work when the boss pisses me off.

  7. s.... ....

    I fucking love this video!

  8. J.... S....

    Well, I'm self-employed and I quit all the time!

  9. m.... ....

    If you're a pot-smoking musician...who do you submit your resignation to?

    m.... ....

    Domino's Pizza obviously

  10. t.... ....

    There is only a select few who could actually do this. Problem is a bunch of people think they are this type of person, but in reality and after the party your hangover takes over and tells you to go back to your job(life) and apologize.

    t.... ....

    bullshit

    t.... ....

    Not me!

    t.... ....

  14. D.... ....

    Hilarious lyrics!

  15. J.... F....

    You have left your mark on the world.

  16. D.... K....

    Not as good as the previous version. It drags and lacks. Plus, music video directors always ruin the spirit of the artist in most cases. The song suffers and the video doesn't suck. BTW I still love TS. FWIW...

  17. P.... S....

    song makes me laugh - I've been saying "was lookin' for a job when I found this one" since 1972 in boomtowns across the country.... didn't know anyone was listening to my turn-of-phrase.

  18. R.... ....

    you like you're under pressure....and todd looks like an amish guy at an easter egg hunt!
