Backbone Job

I'm not looking for an occupation, I just want to go home

They're holding me a ticket at the

Greyhound station, I'm still paying on

I never learned to sell folks nothing

I wasn't raised to steal and rob

I'm looking for a backbone job

Well, I can pick and shovel, I can hang drywall

Swing a nine-pound hammer, pull a crosscut saw

A post hole digger or a barbed wire strand

I don't mind work, but I'm a backbone man

I'm not dumb, but I ain't been to

College, I never got the first degree

And nowadays everybody's making a living tapping on a TV screen

Now I'm not down on a man's white collar, I don't mean to be a snob

I'm just looking for a backbone job

Well, I can pick and shovel, I can hang drywall

Swing a nine-pound hammer, pull a crosscut saw

A post hole digger or a barbed wire strand

I don't mind work, but I'm a backbone man

But I'm not looking for an occupation, I just want to go home

They're holding me a ticket at the

Greyhound station, I'm still paying on

I never learned to sell folks nothing

I wasn't raised to steal and rob

I'm looking for a backbone job

Just looking for a backbone job

Yeah, I'm looking for a backbone job
