The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Forget the Job (Get a Life)

Hey everybody take a break

You're puttin' up with more than you should take

You've got work up to here fifty weeks a year

What difference would a couple days make

You got to get out in the world and see what's going on

You won't know what you're missin' 'til the missin's all gone

Forget the job (get a life) forget the job (get a life)

Forget the job (get a life, get a life, get a life)

Hey

You get an hour to grab lunch

You barely start before you have to be done

Someone comes up to you, you think they're real cute

But you have to be back before one

Or the boss'll be mad, the place'll fall apart

What you gonna do when it's him or your heart

Forget the job (get a life) forget the job (get a life)

Forget the job (get a life, get a life, get a life)

Hey

You come home half dead

Jammed traffic still poundin' in your head

Dishes in the sink, you could use a drink

Laundry piled up on the bed

You never stay home you party all the time

You really got to get your priorities in line

Forget the job (get a life) forget the job (get a life)

Forget the job (get a life, get a life, get a life)

Hey

Forget the job (get a life) forget the job (get a life)

Forget the job (get a life, get a life, get a life)

Hey

Forget the job (get a life, get a life, get a life, get a life)

Forget the job (get a life, get a life, get a life, get a life)

Forget the job (get a life, get a life, get a life, get a life)

Forget the job
